Nice frog.

My babies are in my room now. But, so far have been quiet. Stickers is a female. Bubbles is too little yet to know. Time will tell.

The sound of the waterfall is relaxing and helps put me to sleep. The crickets too.

Yes, those are the fish. Let me see if I have a picture. They are so pretty.

My favorite shark is the black tip reef shark. They remind me of them . I had three before. They outgrew their tank in about three years or so. I finally traded them in when they ate my $80 zebra plec, lol!

None of these pictures are mine btw. They are just photos from the web. Just to show examples.

@ Badger, lol!!! It was a long time. I did however pick up my daughter and cook dinner in between, lol!

Can you imagine how long it will take for the viv? Lol!

[Heatheranne]

Ok, now I'm getting jealous, lol!

[Heatheranne]

T? Will you post some pics for us?

[Badger]

Cool fish O.O I've never really gotten into fish my my dad previously owned some snakeheads and oscars...they look cool. keep us posted!

[Heatheranne]

Thanks! Will do!

[Heatheranne]

Okay...so I'm ready to cut the egg crate for my false bottom. Any recommendations? I think my scroll saw will crack it. Got a small toothed hand saw and tin snips.

What to use?

[Badger]

Do you have a pair of diagonals? wire cutters? Needle nose pliers with wire cutters? Diagonals are the top choice, I'd lend you a pair...but that's a long ride lol

[Heatheranne]

I've found that the tim snips work great! Here I go!

[Badger]

have fun! make sure you leave an access area!

[bshmerlie]

Ya take it from me. don't put red eyes in you room.. A good front comes through they will not shut up. lol..

I know this may sound weird but I have them in my room and sometimes they call all night long. I LOVE IT!!! Although I can sleep through anything so its not a problem for me. But I find the "chirps", the "clucks" and the "Hehehe"'s endearing.

[Heatheranne]

How's this? I can get my full hand in there. Will put a removable cover box there made from the eggcrate.

[Heatheranne]

I love the sounds too! The crickets and waterfall put me to sleep .

[Heatheranne]

Has anyone ever used activated aquarium charcoal under the eggcrate?
