As of right now I don't have any frogs. I had planned on letting these 4 plants establish themselves and a month later order some frogs but I don't think a months worth of growing these plants will give them enough places to hide.

I might do what you suggested, use the pothos until I get some actual plants and give them time to cycle through and I have plenty of the abg mix left over so it should be easy

Bonnie you're the best, thank you so much for all the info and time you've given me!!
