awesome!

Thanks, I just added a few handfuls of organic potting soil to help the plants out since coco has zero nutrients. I managed to get the water very dirty

Not sure how I'm going to make the slope so he can get out.

[daltar08]

do what i did, cut some pieces of aquarium plant (fake) and glue them so he can clime up onto them and out of the pool, i used a hot glue gun. Leave enough space on both sides so if he swims under it he doesnt get trapped and he can just swim to the other side. see what i did in the picture?

I will try and make something similar to yours. How often is he in the water swimming or floating? If I put a gold fish or molly in there will he dive for it?

Wonder if I can just use a normal aquarium siphon to get the coco out of the water?

[cyris69]

Well, I put him in the farthest side from the coco in the water he dived to the bottom then climbed out just fine. the vines in the water helped him too.

EDIT:
You don't change the water everyday do you since you have the filter?

No actually im not sure when i should change the water, i better look into that, he doesnt dive for the fish every one in awhile i will net him one and throw it in front ok him

Ok, cool. I figure since they wont be staying in it constantly you could probably get away with a month at least between changes. Or do it like a fish tank and replace 25% of the water every few weeks. Not to mention the filter will help out quite a bit, I need to get some carbon pellets to add in the filter.

I'm very tempted to pick up a fish liek a pretty molly or something to put in there maybe two and have it just for looks and he can eat them if he wants.

get something that isnt gonna die like a feeder goldfish, i have WhiteCloud Mountain Minnows in my swimming area right now!

[cyris69]

I just picked up two platy's and 8 feeder guppies(baby fancy's) the local petstore here was having a buy one get one for a penny any freshwater fish. Also get a 25% discount there.

It's pretty cool having something that doubles as a fish tank and frog tank. My girlfriend wants fish and I want frogs now we can have both

I might have to pick up a mini heater at some point but my homes stays ~74 all day and plus the 12 hrs on/off of the 12watt bulb

Make sure that the water is up to the level of your plexiglass that way if for some reason he cant get up over the vine you can just hop out

Just added two algae shrimp to help with cleaning as well. Also, just finished setting an aquatic area in a 10gal tank for my dwarf pyxie. I think I will keep it fish-less maybe add some inverts or something and the underwater filter is on the way. That 9$ Amazon.com: Hagen Elite Underwater Mini Filter, UL Listed: Pet Supplies is freaking awesome they just recently bumped it to 13 bucks but is so worth it. It moves water around like a much larger filter and does a good job could easily handle a 10gal tank.
