    Thank you! I wasn't worried as much about the deep water (although I made the pool much shallower with some aquarium gravel), as I was about the need for cycling ammonia/nitrites. (After a week the level is currently 0ppm ammonia and nitrites are acceptable).

    I too was a little worried about him getting stuck behind a rock or branch or something. He's a little guy right now. like super small. The guy I bought him from said he just got him in December and he was super tiny and had grown quite a bit. He has a big appetite, and is quite active. I feed him once/day with a dash of fruit flies. I tried to backfill all the decorations with soil/moss to prevent him from getting stuck but yes I am a little paranoid of that as well. He's definitely alot smaller than the other Azureus' at the local pet shop. Should I wait? I have this awesome looking viv set up and no frog in it lol.
    It can't hurt to wait.
    He could have a little difficulty finding his food in the new enclosure?
    I have a little tad right now that just will not eat his 'spinach' ! Some ,just, grow more slowly.

    If you are planning to move him......simply be sure he is very proficient at hunting and eating his flies.
    You could even feed twice a day-- dust once w/ Ca

    Have you added springtails and isopods; both of which are a great extra food source when the frog hides, and necessary for healthy soil.
    He will find a favorite hiding spot...and it's ALWAYS where you don't want it to be
    You are very smart to be sure the viv is safe; specially background openings.

    If he is very bold there is less worry. Begin by putting the flies in the very same spot each day.
    You could put a tiny pc of banana under the soil at the 'feeding site' to attract the files between feedings.

    It looks great .....Have fun
