I meant to mention that they were purchased from Samurai back a couple of years ago at a Daytona show.
Why did you ask if the spots were brown or green mike?

If they've been kept on the filter foam their entire lives then there isn't really a need to change that, but you can if you'd like. That is entirely your decision.
You could feed some worms now, but more than likely she will want to keep eating and you want to get them both used to your feeding schedule so don't make it a habit.
I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I've noticed here recently a few of the members using foam to keep their pacmans on. I kind-of like that idea better than Eco Earth as it makes me a little paranoid when I go to feed and they ingest it with their food item. I know it's highly digestible, but it still makes me leery. How often do you have to change the foam if kept in a set up like that?
do you use it grif
No Kira I do not. I prefer Coco fiber. I sort through it thoroughly before placing it in the tanks to remove any debris that may be in the bricks or loose coco fiber and believe me there is a lot of debris that can be harmful to young frogs. A lot of the time there won't be much to worry about, but occasionally you get a brick that has a lot of stones, twigs, bark, wood chips, pieces of Easter Grass, pieces of plastic tarp, seeds, and blades of grass. Now this isn't all in one brick. This is just some of the hazards that I've found in the past.
There are pros and cons to every substrate available. Some more than others and cleaning is different for each. Some are quick and others not so much. It all depends on what kind of environment you wish to provide for your frog. Breeders prefer the quick and easy cleaning of the foam which is great when you have a few hundred frogs to care for and keep healthy. Coco fiber doesn't have to be changed out for a month(unless something contaminates it or the coir becomes overly saturated).
Does anyone know where to get an amazing blue like that one??
Once again Luke it's a beauty
Really awesome looking froggers!! That's one of the best looking blues I've seen..
I'm gonna wait until it's feeding time tonight to feed them. Just to get a schedule going for them. I'm going to keep them on the foam too for now, I'll just put some fake plant in there with them for extra comfort. I might eventually change all my frogs to the foam once my rack comes. Haven't decided yet.. changing the water everyday seems like it would be a bit annoying especially when I'm on well water and can't just dechlorinate it. I don't trust the bleach method and buying a ton of spring water seems a bit unnecessary when I could just use Eco-earth. Gonna have to think about it. I definitely know I don't like it when my frogs eat eco earth caked to their worms, it just seems inevitable. Even when tong feeding they get some. They refuse to eat out of their tanks, too.
