    I have a fairly large frogspawn and would like to move him from the sand bed and attach him to a rock in the lower part of the tank. I usually use superglue gel.
    Is there any reason this would not be good? Frogspawns do not need to be on the sandbed does it?
    Here is the frogspawn in question...I would be like to move it to the far left rock where the dead plug is:

    It shouldn't have any problems with moving that small distance up in your tank as long as the flow in that area is not too much greater than where it's at.;)

    The move was successful...so far. I used a liberal amount of superglue gel and held it on there for about a minute. Now I just need to get my powerheads adjusted to get it the right amount of flow. He seams to like it pretty calm. How much do your frogspawns like?

    Here he is in his new home...does not look to happy yet.

    your spawn looks great!!

    Which particular brand of superglue did you use? The namebrand gel one?

    Good move – he looks happier for it.

    He appears to be on the glass though, was this your intention? If this is a viewing pane in time you may not like it as you can not clean the glass. Of course if it’s a wall bound pane you will like the effect of coralline on the glass behind him – would be a very nice effect. But again, if it’s a viewing pane of glass it will become unsightly as you clean the glass around him – just a thought. Tank looks great btw !!

    Yes. It was the name brand gel one.
    It is a non viewing pane. Thanks for the compliments.
