    Default just water as substrate

    I keep my pacmen in a tank with just water up to half of their body.

    so easy to clean and see your frogs.

    I used to use wet coco fiber but didnt like all the mess.

    what do you all think about this?

    don't use moss. it can cause impaction easier than you might think.

    You can use it for adults but not for babys because they like to hunt and are clumsy eaters

    I'm going to have to agree with Bobby Pac. Moss is bad for all ages of Pacman. The adults are not immune to impaction. Especially not moss since they can eat very large mouthfuls of it and it WILL block the intestinal tract. Its not fun pulling a large piece of moss out of your frogs vent believe me.
