Switching to water!

[Jimifrog]

All of my water tanks have Tetra Whispers in them. I haven't had any problems. They are simple to use and clean, and they do a good job.

Great! Looking forward to doing my next permanent setup for my pixie then .

Java moss would grow pretty well on the bricks, but it has to attach to something to properly grow. I've been trying to figure out a plant whose roots can be submerged in water, but the top of the plant can be above water. If I can figure that out, I want to scape a "side of pond" tank, with all water, but half plants with a couple of rock caves.

UPDATE!!!

Got a new small canister filter today. The petstore gave me an offer i couldnt refuse. Still might drill to make it cleaner but i dont know. I also ordered some java moss while i was there. We will see how that goes

Now here's what I'm wondering....

Jcal has a sweet filter. Now do you think this is necessary? I've only had my water setup going for 2 weeks now, and so far so good. But over a long period I have no idea. I can see them sitting in dirty water being bad because of their sensitive skin. Currently I am siphoning out the water every few days to remove dirt from earthworms, and poop/pee. This seems to be fine, but I wonder if having a nice filtration system would really help keep the maintenance down. Hmmmmm....lol

So sorry to interrupt this thread, but I've got a pixie emergency. We're a new frog family and the pixie we've had for about three months does not appear to be doing well at all this evening. He hasn't been eating well the past week and a half, and he started falling over on his side and back late this afternoon. He is about 3 1/2 inches nose to tail, though I'm not sure the exact age. We returned from dinner to find him belly up and thought he was dead; however, my husband turned him over and he's still moving, thought slowly. He had no interest in his crickets this evening. We thought he might have gotten too cold, so we've got a heat lamp on and our fingers crossed. Any advice? There's a 10-year-old little boy who cried himself to sleep afraid his frog will die tonight, and it's not looking good from our perspective. Thanks for your feedback.

Temps need to be 80-83. Humidity should be 50-60% as well. If your frog is cold, it could easily cause problems with no appetite. Up the temps asap, and try to get some food in him. What are you feeding? You should really start a new thread for this...

I would guess cold if he didn't have a heat lamp or heat pad until now. Hopefully, warming him up will go better. After the temps go up to around 80-83, I would try feeding him a pinkie mouse (frozen would be fine, just defrost and dangle in front of his mouth) to get some good nutrition into him.

Its a zoomed 501 canister. And yes the filter helps alot. What i have been noticing more than anything is how much the frogs like water movement. They love hanging in the current. They also are more agressive during feeding.

I dont have dirt or anything else that would clog the filter. Just water and rocks....and soon some moss
