On Sunday im receiving a new aquarium which im going to use to house 2 or 3 African Clawed Frogs (the tank is a Juwel Rio 125). However after spending hours researching these creatures I still have a few questions I need answering;
1. What is the best way to do a water change? Do the frogs need removing from the tank when a water change is done, and how much water needs removing?
2. Will the standard filter in the Rio be ok for frogs or should I invest in an external filter instead? I dont want them to be in an enviroment that is causing them stress (due to too much filter noise).
3. Should I fill the tank all the way to the top or only to around 12"? The tank is around 19" tall and some websites say ACF should only have 12" of water, then other places say more water is better as it gives them room to swim around.
4. I was considering getting small white/blue pieces of gravel, smaller than a pea sized. Would this be ok? I figured if any pieces where swallowed they would be easy to pass if they are smaller.
