    Um, my advice is provide a lot of still water with plenty of plants, keep the temps somewhat cool.
    And in the case of a sex change, I'm not surprised seeing as they're amphibians.

    LOL
    I don't think its a sex change, I reckon I was sold it as a female as it didn't have a crest, but it was winter and it wouldn't have had a crest then! The last one I bought was from an older woman, she said she used to have a male (I was looking for a male) but she couldn't find it and thinks that it escaped. i just reckon she lost the female, but didn't realise!

    Well, I'd say pump them both up, especially the female, on blood worms and black worms, chopped earthworm bits, maybe small pieces of crickets and roaches even. Get her nice and fat, because with 'Phibs, fat=eggs. :P
