Re: what should I do with my empty 40 g. tall tank?
it's a 40 gallon tall tank.Originally Posted by Mentat
Is it a 40 gallon breeder (36x18x18) or a 40 gallon tall (36x12xtaller?)?
If tank is the taller type 40; you can have any of the above in maybe pairs and a male Giant African Bullfrog will eventually outgrow it. The Leopards will be cramped due to their active lifestyle. But you could add to list a couple of the smaller tree frogs. Good luck!
And I am a total beginner so assume I know NOTHING about frogs and how to keep them healthy...although I'm willing to learn. So keeping that in mind, what would you say would be a good (somewhat) mistake resistant frog? I want to get the set up right first and then thing about getting frogs, but of course I assume that the tank set up will depend on what frog I get. I would like ones that are active in the day time...and I'm not opposed to learning how to keep crickets and fruit flies, although I have to say that I probably draw the line at bigger things like roaches. I already keep meal worms for the turtle, so worms don't gross me out. I already keep frozen mice for my snake so even mice are ok.
This brings up another question. What do you feed your plants? I know that with my house plants I repot them about once a year. But in a tank I would assume that I would have to feed/fertilize them in the tank. How does this work with frogs? (aquatic plants are so much easier!)
ps. I should add that things like isopods and roaches are ok if they stay IN the tank and I don't have to handle them.
and yes....any books or websites that you can point me to with info on set ups and frogs would be great. I joined here to hopefully get lots of good info so I hope you don't mind all my questions!
