    Firebelly toad woes

    60’s to 70 is great, that’s one reason why they are easy, no heater, no heat lamps. I had an Iguana for 10 years, a little different, these fire bellies are pretty easy. And you mention a mister? These are not like other frogs like tree frogs or dart frogs, or some lizards, you have water in...

    thoughts on replacing foam inserts on filters...

    Me, agree with TwoTank, been running Aqua Clears since the early 80’s. When they were Hagen brand filters… Use the foam, and filter floss, and have nothing but good luck. I used an Aqua Clear with a salt water tank back in 1993, Lion Fish and worked excellent. Now I do the same, sponge first...

    Micro pellets or flakes for Neon Tetras staple?

    The Bug Bites pellets are fine, I got a couple neons that love the micro pellets, but I use them limited, I put a few in and mix with Omega One flakes, also limited… Don’t over feed. The micro pellets are fine, you’ll see which ones suck them up. Put a few in the tank and see how they get eaten...

    Top Fin Vs Aqueon Tanks

    My choice would be Aqueon for the tanks. Top Fin at Pet Smart does have nice “kits” with the tanks, filters, covers and lighting. I prefer to get the bare tank and buy the other items as I choose. And yes, Petco does have some sweet deals on the plain tanks a few times a year for the Aqueon...
