Sadly, I'm not very good at aquarium plants... I use two kinds, one "anubias" and one that I do not know the name of, sadly... The anubias does not go above the waterline, only to the surface, but even the small ones are sturdy enough to support a corticale sitting on it with the floating help from the water

I have a small filter but I'm not sure if I'll use it. From what I gathered from Sarge's answer in my previous thread ( http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...questions.html ) they don't really want too clean water. And the russians seems to have alot of specialists working with these species and much of the european stock comes from them so I assume they know what they talk about.
Must admit I had forgot about the moving water part I'll have to look up if all species want that or not.
Yeah, I've read that thread and from what I understand, you want the tannin from the wood/cork in the water. A smaller aquarium filter will not remove that, but it will keep the water clean from other kinds of particles (like waste/shed). Then again, you should take his advice more serious than mine, since he is much more experienced than me. That's just how I understand it. If it turns out that you really don't want a filter, but still need moving water, there's always just pumps without filtration.

By the way I've been meaning to ask you about the feeding bin you have in your corticale viv. What kind is that, something made for reptiles/amphibians or something custom made?
I bought it from a friend, but I'm fairly certain that he said it's just a food bowl for cats/dogs, that comes with a hanger. So you could probably get it at Djurmagazinet, Arken Zoo or something like that. Perhaps even ICA Maxi. I highly recommend it, since it's smooth enough for dubias to not escape and it's easy to clean. It does rust though, so you either want to add a thing layer of silicone or just remove the rust with sand paper or something once in a while. Let me ask my friend where he got it from and I'll get back to you with a definite answer!
