What is it?

[Mentat]

well thanks for all your help but im thinking hes an northern green frog

Looking back at pic no. 3; does looks like Rana clamitans !

sorry with all the questions but he also likes to stick himself between the filter and the aquaruim wall . any idea what he is doing?

[Sothfo]

also sorry with the comments but i have found an heat lamp in my house and it just takes any bulb so would it be safe for an frog or is it too hot?And i added some eco earth

There is no telling on why frog is hanging around filter; is the outflow strong?

I don't think your frog will need a heat lamp if tank is in the average room temperature. Still, you can use that dome reflector with a compact fluorescent or LED bulb that provides visible light spectrum to illuminate tank and grow live plants if you have them .

no the filter is an tetra wisper 10 he just likes sitting between the back of the filter and the wall of the tank.

will these work? also my substrate is an mixture of gravel on the bottom and eco-earth on the top will plants grow in this?

Those lights are good for illumination; but not for plants; for those you want a color rating of around 6,500K.

If plants will grow in water section; natural plant gravel with aquarium fertilizer tabs (check Seachem products) will do. If on the dry area; recommend ABG type soil mixture. EcoEarth and all other shredded coco mixes have no plant nutrients in them and make for poor substrate. You can get ABG mix online at Josh Frogs and other retailers .
