    Does this look ok for my red eyes? :-) seems better than a lot of poor set ups on you tube... but then there are also some much better ones as well... so im hoping it fits somewhere in the middle.

    Thanks for comments in advance.

    what do you think.. be honest.. no hard feelings... .. is it any good? I've still got to add the leaf litter and moss... which i hope will grow in.. looks a bit un-natural at the moment.

    Im a little concerned the plant on the right is going to outgrow the tank very soon. Observe which plants your frogs choose to sleep on. I have noticed that they prefer slick smooth leaves. They also seem to prefer the fresh growth as opposed to old leaves. I have had Red Eyes for a few years now and I have changed out my plants to be primarly the ones they will sleep on. If I notice that they don't use a particular plant for whatever reason I eventually change it out. So over time you will have a whole tank full of just the plants they use. For breeding they tend to like the very large banana leaf type plants (just my observation) that are draped over a water source. "Most" Red Eyes will choose to sleep on plant leaves. If they are sleeping on the glass that tells me they are not happy with the leaf selection. (Again, just my observations and not meant to offend anyone).
