    I can't really see much of the tank from your pictures but I agree maybe some more land. There are these cool turtle docks you can get that float in the corners and stay in place with magnets. Other than that overheard of people floating ecoearth in small containers.

    Also from what I've read you can get away with changing the water once a week with the filter there. Try giving it a few days of not going in the tank much. I have a bowl in mine which I do every 2 or 3 days when I give them crickets. This way I'm not in the tank everyday.

    When they were in the 5gal were they more in the water or more on land? Have they brightened at all since they've been in the 10?

    Two of them turned bright green within a day in the 5 gallon tank. The other one went from black to brown. Not really any green on him.
    So I changed the tank. Two bowls of water so the crickets wont drown within hours of going in the tank. The frogs seem to like it better, hoping in and out the water for a while before settling down. One seems to prefer the bowl the other two are hiding on the eco earth. Still not eating but they are still fat and active. Other then changing the bowls of water out I won't be bothering them anymore.
    I think one of the crickets I put in last night is gone. Have not seen but two.

    your new set up, sounds like mine. i have an eco earth base, with a cave made from stacking stones. then i have two bowls (cat food dishes actually.. lol) but i change the bowls water atleast twice a week (usually 3 times).

    (all plastic) i have 3 standing plants, and then i took a plant and tore it apart, and stuffed a bunch of the leaves in the water, which my two hide under. 90 percent of the time..

    hope things begin looking up for your little guys!

    I'm sorry for your loss. As far as i know fire bellies can go max 2 weeks without eating. Maybe if the other doesn't eat you should consider force feeding until he does.

    Ben has ate at least once since I got him. Maybe twice. Not sure need to tear down the tank and look for the food. Anyways now he is hiding under the eco earth. I keep having to dig him up cause I was worried he got out. Wish I could see him eat cause all I do is worry about him.
