What ADFs eat?

Besides the common foods that frogs require, (bloodworms, etc.) They do get other nutrients from the tank right? I feed bloodworms every other day and the frogs NEVER seem hungry.

BTW...the tank is 5 months old and planted.

Any wormy thing you put in there. chopped earthworms, redworms, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, glassworms, white worms.

Mine also eats frozen mysis shrimp.

I think I may have misread your post, other nutrients like what? they eat shed skin.

I feed mine frozen bloodworms, white mosquito larve, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, live grindal worms, frog sticks and they nibble on the algae wafers I put in there for the plecos.

I mean do they get anything at all from the plants, algae, left over flakes, etc., in the tank between feedings?

My ADFs have all been active.
