Thank you DC your post is really informative.

one frog a day :-o just feed every third day, and stick more to insects or other invertebrates like freshwatershrimp. Feed crickets, earthworms,cockroaches,shrimp, but NOT daily

Noted, now i feel pallet and sometimes worms and etc.

That fish is very very fat

You need to starve it a bit, go with dry shrimp, and other insect food
