How Does This Tank Look?
I have some tadpoles that I suspect are tree frogs (I live in Maryland) because that's the only call I hear at night, although I do have a what I think is a Northern Green enjoying my pond this summer... tadpole pic attached for your opinion... Anyway, we are enjoying watching them morph but I've read so many "horror" stories about little froglets drowning that I'm worried about having a proper setup for them to be able to make the transition from water to land.
So I set up their tank with lot of flat pieces of bark and a submerged reptile dish that contains a large rock and smooth river rocks that rest above the water line, and the large rock has living moss on it. Some of the bark floats freely and some rests against the edge of the "island". I have live aquatic plants and I drop in some string algae from a small still pond outside every few days, they devour it. I also bent some thick grapevines and placed them around inside the tank, not that they will be climbing anytime soon... the two biggest ones have teeny tiny floppy back legs and are very plump, they are about 3-3/12 cm long, I would estimate.
Everyone is swimming around and seem pretty calm. There are a total of about 12 ranging in size from the two mentioned above to one little guy who just looks like a circle and tail at this point.
Any thoughts, suggestions, warnings, etc. are much appreciated. I have attached some pics of the digs.
