new to the forum :D got a few questions

May want to avoid the volcanic rock it's rather rough on frogs fragile skin (and ACF are known to spaz out/crash into objects now and then as you may well know). Stick with driftwood.

Go with the volcanic rock over the wood. Unless it's manzanita wood, which will sink in a couple days. Other woods, like oak, yes even english oak, will take an eternity to sink. Super glue is completely safe. We have been using it in freshwater aquariums for years. And i personally know people who have used it in tanks with acf's in them. Btw......java ferns and bolbitis are other good plants for your tank. Don't worry too ;;much about getting more, it grows rather quickly. A body scrubby or a cut up nylon over the filter intake are both effective for keeping plant debris out of your filter.

Just saw the post above......no volcanic rock, go with river pebbles or stones from your garden. Sorry, i know plants and tanks, not acf.....lol thanks to Michael for the frog specific info

Not a problem. ACF are VERY skittish creatures. They are easily spooked so always avoid sharp objects in tanks that house them.

I just use plants that can handle floating like elodea, wisteria, and hornwort. All three are dirt cheap, grow like weeds (because they are weeds), and can live just fine uprooted. Frog behavior is a night and day difference with the plants in there.
If you’re hell-bent on weighing plants down, river stones from the craft store are a good option. You can use hot glue also. I have a java fern that is 10 years old and has been hot glued to a stone since day one.

They love floating plants, it's true. They will bask in them, especially at night, they will sleep in them with their noses above the water. I think it's a good idea for all ACF to have them, it seems to make for happier frogs. I personally leave pennywort and wisteria in my tank floating for them to relax in.
