New Looking to convert 20GAL tall fish tank. :)

I really like it ! Love the background .

Good climbers . Might want to weigh down the lid with a lamp light or rock, lol! I used a lamp. Once winter rolled around I needed it to keep the tank warm anyway. If you do get a lamp at some point be sure to get one with a dimmer. Infared bulbs are best bc you can use them at night and the light generally won't bother them. Bulbs no higher than a 50watt. How's the temp holding in there for you?

Is only one croaking or both? Lol! Well, you definitely have at least one male. Great choice of frogs, btw. They have nice markings.

Are they eating for you? It is still a good idea to use the calcium/vita D3 bc there is minimal in the multivitamin. Calcium is their most needed mineral.

I use a tank scraper to get the calcium deposits off. It looks like a scrubby sponge on a stick. It works pretty good. Most chemicals are toxic to them and have to be thoroughly rinsed out. I'd hate for you to have to reset it up.

Great job!

Actually, I'm hoping that they will be fine till Friday when I can get them a light. My room is the coldest in the house (basement) and I forgot. The water has an auto heater that keeps it around 70-78 degrees. They move in and out of it as they please though. :-)
They both ate three crickets a piece without much hesitation. Lol. :-) quick little things too. Afaik its only one barking.... :-)

As someone looking into raising some fire belly toads in the near future, I absolutely loved reading this thread. Found lots of info in the article section and Kyle4 - that setup is AMAZING!

Haha! They may still perform the act, shall we say, lol, but it is unlikely the female will have eggs ready yet. They usually require a dry and then rain season. Though, I have never bred my frogs or toads, so I am not 100% certain, lol .

You really did a great job with their home.

Well sure enough, i went down and he had her held under the water and sounded as if he was singing her a song lol! well i atleast i though it was him. he would NOt let her go tho... i waited a min just to make sure she wouldnt drown. and she kicked away.... PHEW! was starting to freak me out... :O im not hoping for eggs. but it would be cool to have them.
thanks !

Welcome to the forum! I'd be hard pressed to name a frog I didn't like, but FBTs are awesome--very friendly little guys!

welcome!

[Heatheranne]

Lol! Perhaps you have one make and one female .

Be sure the heater is deep in the water so they don't burn their toes, ouch.

[Heatheranne]

Oops, please pardon my typo...one *male and one female.

[Kyle4]

The heater is in the depest part under their basking rock.

I just got home and walked into my room to see my frogs scurrying away. and the green guy is barking up a storm right now... i hope i didnt just walk in on them... you know. -_- :O
Is that even possible without the breeding process? He is going nuts right now... O.o

Oh yeah, today is feeding day again. weee,

His bark is about the cutest think ever. hah.

Lol! Perhaps another would distract him .

A general guide is one frog per 10 gallons of tank size. They stay small so 4 is okay.
