as someone who has now seven of these frogs (they've been moved to a 15 gallon, with sand for a substrate, plants, rocks, and drift wood to hide in, two snails, and a fish), we did get them from a local store that wasn't a fish store but a "hobby store". our little guys are happy, and we got them where we did because the owner did care about the frogs and took care of them as best he could. that being said, we stopped giving them the pellets once they got into their new tank, giving them bloodworms and brineshrimp instead. the frogs started to grow almost immediately after their diets were switched, and as of now they're quite happy. all of the supplies we use are from a true fish store a bit further away, although we do continue getting our food from a petsmart as we do frozen for convenience

funny how landlordism is literally modern feudalism yet whenever people dare to call landlords out they face a lot of backlash, the sooner landlords are removed the better for everyone (and ofc landlords always argue they are "helping", yeah but the very system shouldn't exist at all, yet bring up the idea of public housing etc and they flip out as if you summoned demons into the world).

I've owned a clam as a kid from a fishing trip with family friends, I had been walking around the lake since I didn't want to fish. I ended up seeing something near the shoreline, I thought it was a rock but after my mom got it out of the water. It was a clam, my mom ended up letting me keep it. The clam ended up living in a 20-30 gallon tank all by itself and followed my mom whenever she was. If she was on the right side so was it and same for the left, it was werid to me as a kid since I never saw it move. Well it ended up passing sometime later, i believe from old age ans my mom decided to extract the pearl from inside of it. It ended up being a light pieple nearly white pearl, super beautiful.

I can't express just how much i love the cinematography and sound design of your channel. Came for animals, stayed for animals and camera work and sounds and structuring

This unlocked a memory, my 4th grade teacher had one of these as a class pet. We were allowed to feed them sometimes but you were picked randomly. I just remember them being the cutest things ever and my teacher being incredibly protective of them

If you want to keep clams in a tank, you should put them in a separate container in the tank. It makes it easier to control their location, they won't uproot your plants, and it's easier to make a weekly check if they're still alive. If one dies, and you can't find it, the ammonia spike will suddenly kill your tank.

Watching the Assassin Snail swirl its creepy little proboscis around in the victim's snail shell was definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

I had an African Dwarf frog once when I was a kid. I called him “Squishy” and I’m embarrassed to say he lived in my goldfish’s fish tank. Looking back I realize now the environment he was in was not suitable for him whatsoever. Needless to say I didn’t have him for long and he passed away. I’ll always regret getting him and another one after him who met the same fate. I’ll never get another Dwarf Frog again, but I’m just glad to see someone finally properly take care of these amazing creatures for once! Thank you man for giving them a great home.

Love Leafy. I jumped on Patreon for extra content cuz I couldn’t get enough.

This brings back memories, did something very similar with small blue spotted salamanders, guppies, fresh water clam, 2 ghost shrimp, plants and more. Had a grow light on a timer and no filter. Made a custom 2 tier terrarium/aquarium, allowed a tiny hole at the bottom of the substrate wall to allow some of the nitrogen rich water to slowly leach in and allow the clovers and plants get water and nutrients. Left it for over 6 months, water was still pristine, guppies were multiplying but numbers didn't explode as other things would help eat and remove them, even got salamander tadpoles. Was a fun and neat experiment that took a couple months to fine tune, but once the ecosystem got going it seemed to take care of itself which was my goal.

I did the same with Opae Ula (Halocaridina rubra,) shrimp in a so-called 'biosphere.' 8 turned into 200+, so much so that I had to convert them into freshwater (they stop breeding when changed from their preferred brackish water to fresh water. ) When I moved country, thanks to how rare they had become in those few years, I made 6 grand selling them, before leaving. My buyers got a lot of info from me on not just how to keep them health, but also on how to breed them, because they are highly sought after in the shrimp-keeping hobby, there. They assured me that they would make sure the hobby would thrive again.

When you introduced the assassin snail (to the video), I really appreciated that you blurred everything except the eyes and nose when you mentioned them. It made it really easy to know what in the fleshy mass I was supposed to look at :'D

I love how Dr. plants and leafy Street are together

Insane camera shots I love it

Thank you for teaching people how to not abuse frogs. There is mo low budget pet, they are all alive and deserve what they need for their wellbeing. I feel so bad for the pets that get abused. Humanity often times doesn't deserve the relationship with animals that we have.

you have the perfect sense of humor, and that's not an opinion. out with free will, leafy street supremacy.

Alex, I’m not sure if your Leafy Street channel should get a timeslot on Discovery, Comedy Central or both. Loved the cameo from Dr. Plants. More collabs please . You both do Brilliant work.

I found one of these poor frogs in a tiny tank just like this at a Walgreens back in the year 2000. I immediately removed him from the tiny tank and put him in a big tank. He became a happy frog with a nice life, especially after he got some snail buddies in there to keep him company, and later, a neon tetra fish as well. His name was Froggy, he lived until he was 12 years old. After he died, I buried him in his own special painted frog coffin, under a tree, in Golden Gate Park near a pond. He was a great frog.

Love this channel. Never disappoints.
