    Actually...I am against the book idea because most books have just regurgitated the same thing into becoming the new "fact" about frogs....similar to how the myth of goldfish and betta bowls became popular.

    10 gallons is fine for one and only one frog.
    Substrate - I recommend bare bottomed or sand. It is much easier to keep clean.
    A lid is a must - these frogs can and will try to escape the tank.
    You want hiding places such as pieces of driftwood leaning in the corner and silk plants. These frogs have no eye lids so they do not like a strong light. I use floating plants to disperse the light - this way I can see my frogs and the frog can enjoy the shade.

    What are you currently feeding your froglet? Diet is very important - I recommend HBH frog and tadpole bites when they are young, and ReptoMin sticks when they are older. These are both available at most pet stores in the reptile section.

    I don't know what size tank Coconut is in now, but I do hope it is atleast 5 gallons. Small tanks mean the water gets polluted very quickly and dirty water can lead to red leg and then death.

    A filter is recommended for these frogs. I have used Hang-on the back filters, internal filters, and canister filters with these frogs. For 10 gallons you have quite a selection to choose from. I do not advise undergravel filters.
    72 Gallon Bow - ACF and GF tank.
    26 Gallon Bow - ACF tank.

    20 Gallon Long - ACF tank.
