new fire belly frogger needs help!

[Mentat]

R/O water is bad for frogs (draws minerals out like distilled water); so no wonder they are staying out. You need to replace it with dechlorinated (Seachem Prime or ExoTerra Aquatize) tap water as soon as possible Amy. Good luck !

Shoud I do a complete water change? will it shock them? Or a partial? Do you think the guppies are creating too much amonia?
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Amy - Firebellied toads do not like deep water. I have mine in 2 inches sloping down to 3 inches but they have many places to cling to and they love it. A rock fountain/ filter is in one corner, and it slopes up to a bank. I have 4 breeding pairs that are very happy and breed all the time! They just need to have the water lowered and have many places to hang out. Good luck! Sounds like a fun enclosure!

I am still worried about these guys. they have tons of river rocks and they can just touch the bottom with head above water. This all started when i remodeled and added a hood for higher humidity. where do you keep your temp/humidity? I will post some pics when i get home. I changed the water today and im waiting for some positive results. but one guy is desperately trying to escape....

They don't need excess humidity, mine do fine with a screen top with a light on top.

Myself would do a complete water change with same temperature and pH water. All organisms will create ammonia in the water; so yes fish will do so. Still; not sure what do you mean by "too much ammonia." If you do not have a filter recommend changing 25% of the volume daily. With a mature filter you can do a 25% weekly .
