    Thanks for your input. I have plastic canvas around the filter base, makes it easy to take the entire filter out without disturbing the gravel and rocks around it, but I never thought about tule. I wanted a waterfall in the aquarium, thus the reason for the build up around the filter (although it makes it just a waterfall, too much gravel I think to filter it). But I may end up redoing it. I did add some water to make the water part a bit deeper (not much, but maybe an inch) and so far they are staying more of the land area. If they seem to like deeper water, I'll make sure it's deeper. Right now, it appears like they prefer it to be more shallow.

    I redid my FTB aquarium to give them a section of deeper water. Still not sure they will use it, but now they have the option of going in there.

    My FTB's would eat 6+ crickets a day if I let them. Still not sure how much is too much such that it could cause issues (constipation or just getting fat), but am putting about 3 dozen in there at least every other day and they eat them all up quickly. There's still some aggression/eager eaters but it seems to have decreased.

    The "deep" section is around 2" deep. A picture of their new setup (completed tonight):

    Can I ask you where you got you light ? and what kind is it ? Im new to fire bellies as well and sometimes mine will just hide and not eat sometimes they do . I am thinking its the size I use medium crickets not sure if that ok I think the bigger the fuller they are lol . I like your tank set up Ill show you mine . I started off with stuff like the moss etc but they would get it there mouth while hunting crickets so I took it out . all I have is rocks a tetrafuana waterfall filter and fake plants .

    I am so sad that when its feeding time they dont jump towards me to feed they just run and hide :/
