Water-bottom tree frog terrarium?

[Lamb]

Hello all,

I've had two male green tree frogs (Hyla cinerea) for almost a year now. I'm in the mood to redesign their 20 gallon tall tank, and am wondering if I should try to recreate the design of a multi-species tank I saw in the aquarium in Chattanooga, TN. In the Chattanooga aquarium, the tree frog tank had 4 or so inches of water in it with plenty of branches emerging from the water on which the frogs hung out.

Here is the biggest issue I see with this design - drowned crickets. Does anyone have a set up like this? Or has anyone set up a tank like this? I suppose I could have a small island that the crickets could climb out on. Thoughts?

Instead of substrate bottom i use all purified water bottom for one of my tanks the issues you will have are crickets climbing on vines and branches they will need a dish or rock to stay put on for your frogs and they will try to escape, some will try and swim and drown.and you will have to change the water a lot.

Hey I am frosty I had about 10 pacific tree frogs i had that same problem, so I put a big bowl of water for the frogs and they liked it then i put dirt underneath it. They were very happy.
