African Dwarf Frogs

This is why I love forums i would not have thought of the heating aspect until too late.

I am getting a nice firm lidded 7gallon which I think I will put 3 frogs in with pink colour theme.

sounds perfect can't wait to see pictures - -
for the plants, remember - - SILK!!!

regular plastic plants can tear the webbing between the frog's toes....in most cases it will grow back...but it is probably quite painful!!!

Dont worry definately going pinkiest silk can find

Yay! The tank is here and good looking, 7gallons have checked, now...I would love pink gravel though thinking I have got this play sand sitting in a bucket..be honest the sand is going to be better isnt it? I love pink but wish to do best by the frogs. Ordered a special pink silk aquarium lotus plant and going to get some small bridges/caves/moss balls to hide under, dont want to over decorate and take up too much space.

gravel is .... ok.....sand is best

what you could do....is both....make it look like the sand leads up to the rocks, and use the rocks to weight down the plants eta.....if you do decor that is slender towards the bottom then widens as it goes up that won't take up much room....the bottom inch or so is where the frog will spend most of its time.

bridges/caves are great...moss balls are awesome!!! what I do is take one moss ball that is the size of a tennis/base ball and break it up into smaller moss balls...this means they get moved around and it is more places to hide and play in

Again Jenste what would I do without you? Going with sand and pinkish silk decs and then moss balls it is! Thanks Jenste, forgive the ramblings

 

[Jenste]

I don't consider them ramblings!!! I really enjoyed checking my inbox to see if you were one of the replies!!! I can't wait to see your tank set up!

Aw thanks sweet pea, it is probably going to be much more bland than I anticipate, sand is in with water and settling, moss balls and one small silk plant. Piccys soon! Thanks again x
