Thank you! Would you recommend waiting on the moss change to add in the springtails? Maybe I'll just order some now.

Here are a couple pictures of the tank & the mold & mushrooms.

The mold,...

Sure! I'll take one right now. Of the whole vivarium, or just the mold/mushrooms?

Hi guys! [emoji5]️


So, recently I noticed a bit of mold in my enclosure, but it wasn't anything too concerning. Now, at least 30 tiny mushrooms have popped up out of nowhere! They're pretty...

Thanks guys! After much observation & research, I believe it is a leopard frog (one unfortunately died the night of receiving them). Turns out, the poor little guy only has one eye, too. I imagine...

I am from Southern California, but it is possible that the frog was imported.

My dad went to the pet store this evening, & the guy told him that these two frogs showed up with an order of goldfish. As in, they were literally in the water with the goldfish. My dad has a...

These guys are very excellent escape artists. Always expect that your tank is never secure enough, & always try to improve it. I've had two escape in an enclosure that I thought FOR SURE was escape...

That's so refreshing to hear, Bill! I'm excited! [emoji5]️ Thanks for always helping me out!

Haha, I figured if I got some sort of algae eaters, I would get them big enough to where the frogs won't eat them, but I worry about them being exposed to the toxins that the frogs release, won't...

Absolutely stunning, Bill. So gorgeous!

Hi all! [emoji4]

So my current build is doing wonderful--the plants are flourishing (other than the moss, but that's a different post lol), the water's flowing just the way I want it, & the frogs...

Wow! That's crazy, I can't believe it's THAT invasive. I have other aquatic plants in my tank, I wonder if the duckweed would choke them out?

Hey Hayden! Awesome to hear about you! By the way, your wife is a genius--I should talk to my boyfriend about this frog credit idea, I love it! Haha

So I had some trouble trying to figure out measurements, because I'd want to cover my land portion & some stones, but I'm thinking maybe two golf ball sizes. But, again, I'm inexperienced with this...

That looks awesome, Bill! I love it. I'm still unsure if I want to commit to the duckweed, though. I think I'm going to cover some rocks with Java moss & see how I like that. I always just want more...

Thanks for the tip! Do you recommend just planting it on coco fiber, sphagnum, etc.?

Awesome! Thanks Bill, I've heard that FBT's love duckweed, not sure if that's a fact or just speculation, but we'll see!

Good to know, Amy! Now, let's say a cricket or wax worm gets into the water & my frogs go after it...do I have to worry about impaction from the duckweed? I have fire belly toads.

Well, I like how this is sounding! I do have a pretty high flow in my tank, especially on the dam. I'm sure duckweed would probably hate being in the fully aquatic section due to the waterfall then!...

Totally understand, I'll let you know later on in the afternoon! [emoji4]

Oh, wow, I had no idea you needed such a small amount. I'll take some measurements when I get off of work to get a number on how much coverage I'm looking for, & then perhaps you can help me out with...

I hadn't even thought of them stealing light from my aquatics. On one end, I have semi-aquatics, it is a much shallower area. And then on the other end I have fully aquatic plants. Both are...

Hi all!

Another basic FF question here [emoji6]
What are your guys' thoughts on duckweed? I house fire belly toads, & I've heard that they really enjoy it! I also just love the look of it (from...

Hey guys! So I decided on the Java moss, & I'm having trouble finding a place that offers a decent amount. I've checked aquarium websites, and vivarium websites, & most (strangely) don't seem to...

Awesome! I'll try out the Java moss. Thanks guys!
