    I like your idea for your tank. I have water on the bottom of mine filled with the same amount of water. however i didn't use gravel, but i'm sure that'll work since i have seen other tanks with a similar set up. (Someone else may know more about useing stone as a bottom)? I used a false bottom for mine. The fish idea i like. i wanted that to. When i asked about it on this forum, some told me some things to keep in mind.
    1. make sure the fish isn't to small, so that it'll become food.
    2. Make sure the fish isn't big enough to eat your frog.
    3. Use nonaggressive fish. ones that won't nip at your frogs.
    Thats what i was told so i hope that helps. Good luck with it and can't wait to see your tank and Red-Eyed Leaf Frog's

    Thanks, and what method did you use? and yeah I think perhaps guppies would be ok? and I know you can get small fresh water shrimps which act as cleaners, plus I will have a small filter, so cleaning the water will be much more infrequent

    Thanks again :]

    p.s. What light should I use for red eye tree frogs, and where can I buy them? (online)

    Your welcome. i used a false bottom technique. I used a plastic egg crate, i got that at home depot(since your in england i don't know where you could get it) lol
    i cut it to size and ziptied the peices together. I made it three inches high and left three inches up front, so that there is a little pond right up front. Then i covered the egg crate with window screening, then used expandable foam for terrian. I have a hole right up front in the false bottom so i could put my water filter in(and it makes a water fall) i'll add some pics of it so you can see a little better what i'm saying. I'm not great at explaining things.
    The lighting someone else may know more about. I'm trying to get that one figured out myself. hope that'll help. I'll try and post pics as soon as i can so you can see what i'm saying.
    LEt me know if you need better pics. hope that helps
