The shipping was $14 and the frogs were $5 dollars each. Ill try to feed them floating food sticks so they don't eat the gravel, the gravel is very fine but it looks too big for them to eat right now. The filter can clean 5X the size of the tank. I will leave the bubble wand in for now. It would be a major hassle to remove the gravel; I know it could end bad but Im hoping they don't eat it and when there older they should be big enough to pass it fine.
