    Thanks. I did test the water before adding them and it seemed good but I wasn't checking frog specific params, just the chart that came with the test strips. They seem better today. Maybe they were just acclimating to the new environment.

    You'll want a liquid test kit, strips are pretty inaccurate. The parameters for frogs are basically the same for fish, ammonia and nitrite are toxic so you want them at 0ppm always and nitrate 20ppm or less but I'd worry more about the ammonia/nitrite as those are killers.

    75 to 82 F and zero ammonia and nitrite and you should have happy frogs.
