    Biodegradable items typically dissolve when in prolonged contact with water, meaning it may be the wrong type to use.

    I just assumed they'd be teh safest. They are made more for landfills so I think they may be more lasting that we think. Though it could be the complete opposite in terms of longevity. Cutting a 3-4" plexiglass wall is fine too, I just wanted something I can remove to clean without needing to be so invasive in the tank. I'm going to attempt working on this setup tomorrow. I will goto menards and see what non-toxic trays I can find. I have a few here at home but they aren't labels as either.

    Each night after feeding mine burrows to the glass until I dig him up the next night for feeding. I don't mind him doing it. Would be nice to see him once and a while though. My huge dwarf is the same except he makes tunnels everywhere

    Mine is getting the yellow around its arms but is a duller green and loosing his side stripes somewhat.

    could be either , there is still a chance mine is female, though everyone does think its male on mine, I've fallen in love with this species. But generally, more yellow the bigger chance of being male. if the head keeps getting wider, thats another indication of male. but sometimes you get a smaller headed male, or bigger headed female I've noticed from forums also. Males always get bigger then the females though I dont call my biggest one my pet anymore, I just call him my child,, he is so spoiled he wont eat his least fav foods anymore LOL

    Color isn't an indicator. How does your filter do with your frog? I bought a big 45-gallon fluval 206 filter for my adult male, but haven't set it up yet. He doesn't go to the bathroom that much, but when he does, it looks like a dubia colony exploded in the water.

    Filter works great, I don't think I could justify a $99 canister filter, however that would be the best thing to use considering substrate. I use live plants in my water (+ shrimp who eat food particles from the poop) so I don't always scoop the poop or its already broken up quite a bit and impossible to get. Floaters I do scoop out. Also, I rinse out the sponge every 3-4 days to get the flow better. Mine has a movement every day so he does quite a bit in the water, actually haven't seen him do it anywhere else.
