They never left the water but I used the floating betta log (it often sat in it but never on it) and a very thick (3" at the minimum, usually closer to 6") canopy of floating water wisteria.

Re: USA availability of X. Borealis and X Muelleri?
My assumption is from what I've been reading all three of these species roughly require five gallons a piece. Kind of torn about what to get. I know for sure I want Borealis.
Re: USA availability of X. Borealis and X Muelleri?
The female Borealis get to be about the size of a male Laevis (with male Borealis even a bit smaller). The Tropicalis even a bit smaller than that. If these are 20 gallon longs I wouldn't blink at putting 6 -7 frogs in them. In my experience the Tropicalis are not nearly as active. They hide in a cave, they perch in the plants, the hide behind the filter, they perch in the plants and that's about it lol.

As far as temps go, I keep my laevis @ 72-ish. I plan to do the same for the new guys, will that be too low for tropicalis?
Re: USA availability of X. Borealis and X Muelleri?
I kept my tanks at 75*F which seemed to keep everyone happy.

Re: USA availability of X. Borealis and X Muelleri?
Got my final order in with Burley. Getting 4 Tropicalis juvies to grow out for my desk at work. Going with a 20H for them. I am also ordering a trio of Borealis for home. The will be getting a 20H also. I currently have a pair of sponge filters cycling. What's a tank, top, light going for in the US these days?
My guys are set to ship out on July 1st and in my hands on the 2nd. I can't wait!
