    Default Hello from New Zealand

    Hello, I have had frogs two times now, the first time was a few years ago, but that frog didn't quite make it but now I have two brown tree frogs (litoria ewingii) one that i grew from a tadpole and one I got as a adult frog

    Hi welcome to the forum.
    For live plants I found the best plants to use are Bird's Nest Ferns and Brazillian Ferns.
    Best set up is a water area made by using a piece of perspex to seperate the land area and water area which is sealed with aquarium safe silicone. The land area will need a stone layer at the bottom and organic soil on top (about 7cm) don't have any stones on top as they can cause impaction.

    Hey I am from New Zealand too. It seems to be fairly hard to find any information on Green and Golden Bell Frogs. I am about to make a background for my hexagonal tank (an old fish tank) out of polystyrene then coated in grout and aquarium grade silicon.
    I will also look at putting some pots of sphagnum in near the waterfall feature. What do you guys think about that?
