We have had our Grow a frog for 25 years. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had their frog for this long.?

No, all of ours, 5 first grade teachers, died before they fully developed. That's great yours has lasted so long!

Sorry ours lasted about six months until it jumped out and our shiba Inu ate it for lunch

Mine is about 20 years old! I got him when I was in first grade and named him Froggy. I'm 26 years old now and my mother still takes care of Froggy!

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

Yes, I have had live aquatic plants in my tank for a couple years. I have the light on a couple hours a day during the week about probably close to 8 hours a day during the weekend. I actually had an aquatic plant that died and a few months later the same plant grew back in the place the old plant was at. Let me know if you need any more information. I have had bamboo and also these plants: http://www.petsmart.com/fish/live-plants/top-fin-plant-bulbs-zid36-15175/cat-36-catid-300070?var_id=36-15175&_t=pfm%3Dcategory I'm assuming the other person who responded to your question has not had live plants in their tank.

We understood that the tadpole would come separately. We ordered and got a nice aquarium and put in a frog. We also ordered the small aquarium for a tadpole start. Months later the kids got a tadpole (I think at the local bait shop.) and used the small aquarium. I understood that the tadpoles had to be ordered separately. There is a lot of interesting reading on the internet or in books about frogs. Some of it is helpful. And there are some great stories! (:

I encourage you to do your own research on the web since I'm a newbie at this. Mine will probably not survive the necessary 2 years, because I live in a mediterranean climate and it likes growing in indirect sunlight along side mountain streams and well drained soil.

I have had mine for 5 months and it is now just starting to grow. I would also call mine twiggy. I hope it someday resembles the pics of what I bought. If I had to do it over, I don't think I would purchase this online but find a bamboo dealer/farm.Donna Swanson

I have a few other types in my 125 gallon tank and they seem to get along nicely. No issues for the past few months they have been together!

Hopefully you received your answer, but I've been using this for years and my leopard Gecko is doing well and he is almost 15 years old.

I've transferred these into a 1 gal pot 6 months ago and they've only grown an inch or two. Not sure why. I want then to get bigger before I put them in the ground, but something isn't working. I purchased several other plants which are doing very well. Maybe they are slow growing but they were a bad choice for us.

I live in Homestead, Fl and mine are doing really well. I planted mine along my fence and 6 months time a few of them have quadrupled in size. They are doing much better than the honey suckle I planted.

I've had mine since springtime this year. It was about 2 feet tall when it arrived, and it hasn't gotten any taller over the summer. But it's still alive, so I'm hoping that it gets a grip and grows taller next year.

They were shipped to me as two separate trees. I got them late summer of 2012, so I cannot comment on how tall they get. I planed the two of them in the same pot and "twisted" the trunks around each other somewhat, then used nursery tape to hold them that way. My hope is that they will continue to grow together.Frankly, I have been disappointed with their progress. The leaves on one are doing ok, but the other one is looking weak. I will withhold final judgment until they have a full growing season in the new pot.

Mine are doing great. I soak them in purified water for about 20 minutes every two weeks & then spray them w/fertilizer. They seem to love it.

Yes true... they will grow better. I also had some liquid food to their water. Keeps them dark green... Happy Bamboo :-)

I know next to nothing about growing flora in the aquarium except some BS I've read in forums. I have planted a low growing and tall growing pair of plants in my 29 high tank with the appropriate sized model of this light. It is a medium populated community tank and I do not use CO2. I do dose daily with Flourish Excel. My plants appear to be doing well and some new sprouts have developed and are growing. I will take a picture and post it in the user pictures portion.

We added one of ours that grew very large to our freshwater tanks and he did just fine until we added a crawfish... the crawfish ate him. be careful of other fish that might eat him.

I am not sure. We have the old and newer butterfly and they are a little different from each other. I posted a review comparing them so if the frog is a newer model it may be similar to what we have.
