    I would reccomend adding some live food to that. Throw some minnows or goldfish in there every once in a while. They will also eat insects off the surface.

    Frogs/Toads: 2.3.1 Hyla versicolor | 0.0.2 Trachycephalus resinifictrix | 0.1 Bufo marinus
    Salamanders: 1.1 Ambystoma tigrinum tigrinum | 1.1 Ambystoma mavortium melanostictum
    Snakes: 0.0.1 Lampropeltis calligaster calligaster
    Chow: Roaches (11 species) | Springtails | Terrestrial Isopods | Vinegar Eels | Gammarus | Guppies
