Will this terrarium work?

[flybyferns]

Ok, so I have been thinking of methods to separate land and water for the red eyed tree frogs I hope to get in a month, and I came up with this "blueprint"...

I would like to highlight that i purposely want to water level to be a tiny bit below the peek of the gravel, hopefully to stop the substrate from becoming soaked, would this work?

Also, the water will be about 2.5 inches deep with stones and plants to stop the frogs from drowning, but I was wondering if I could put any fish/shrimps in here?


Heres my pic btw, forgive the bad attempt at drawing it but macs don't have paint lol...

Hi Zak,
You have good plans going here !
Could you possibly post the dimensions of the enclosure you are planning to use for red eye tree frogs?
How many red eyes are you planning to purchase ?
It's great that you are building/and setting up PRIOR to getting your frogs!

water level:
Red eye tree frogs do not swim really well ! A water area meant for soaking should not be over their chins.
If you do decide to make it deeper ( ie with fish - I do not know about fish in the same enclosure ?) they MUST have plenty of
things to grab onto to climb out.
