Mold - A danger or problem?

[Gnag the nameless]

Really? I'd like to see your habitat. What kind of frogs do you keep in it?

I clean my water a lot too, but the filter does help a lot. I've not any algae in the tank currently, though I was thinking of getting real plants other than the moss. I use smooth rocks for everything, and moss covers most of the wood and land area, though the land area is small and the frogs never go onto land. And yes, the wood is in the water. It forms a nice cave for the frogs. I don't really want to move it, either, my frogs would freak out. It's the only hiding space they use.

Here's some photo's of the updated tank, the earlier photo of the tank tank is outdated. I just added the moss and more plants yesterday, actually.


Notice the flashlight, water conditioner, cricket quencher and diet in front of the tank.

A view of the side. Sorry for the light, it's due to the UVB lamp.

The corner. Hopefully, the frogs will bask here now. That watery area is actually an entrance to the cave.

The cave entrance. The middle of the log is actually hollowed out, so they have a reliable source of air, which means they can stay in the cave the whole day, partially submerged, in a dark spot, and air. They only come out to bask at daytime. Nighttime is a whole different story.

This is a photo I took of Gnag with the flashlight. The frogs will hunt during the "evening" [when I turn off the UVB lamp and turn on the dimmer incandescent light across the room] and finish hunting when I turn off the light. Then they'll swim around for the whole night. That's the time to get photo's. Gnag is often calm, and doesn't swim away when I'm taking photo's. Bumpy is a different story. Move too fast, too loud, she'll swim like a bullet into the cave. My goal for the end of this month is to get a nighttime photo of her. Not going to be easy.
