    Besides barking, is toe webbing an accurate way of telling? Arched on female, straight on male? If so...I think I have 5 males. Only the one I suspected of being female as the arched webbing and the other five have it straight across their hind feet. I found someone with a reverse ratio of me...they have ALL females and are looking for a male. Think I may trade a male for a female but I am not sure....Am I at the stocking point of my tank or could I fit another frog? (After quarantine of course)

    Well, like I said, the ones you saw mounting are males. the "mounted"(?) can be either. As for the webbing, I'm not sure but there may be some theory or such out there.

    Ok, by observing them I would say I definitely have 5 males and 1 female. The LFS I bought them from has some from the same order still in the store. I may see if I can go pick out a few more females and may rehome a few of the males.

    I am also unable to get the tank in a way that I find pleasing, so using egg crate, foam and zip ties I am going to make a ledge, planning on covering it with gravel/sand/rocks to make it look appealing.

    That is this weeks project. I already cut the egg crate. I am going to have it run down the entire length of the tank (minus room for the foam to expand) and sit about 9-10" high. I plan on housing the filters underneath (hence the height) and one side is about 4.5" wide and the other side is about 6" wide. The narrowest part of the tank is 10".

    Picking up a couple more females tomorrow. Will probably rehome a few males once I have picked my favorites. Since these females are from the same exact order of my current frogs, I won't bother with a quarantine period as they are from the same source.
