    Default R. Vent 10G Vertical tank

    Nothing to exciting here. My Vents seemed stressed by the waterfall in their Paludarium so I decided to move them and downsize their home in the process. I only have 2 of them left. I lost 2 of them earlier this year

    Here is the first final layout.



    After thinking on it and walking away from it I decided I didn't like it. So I tried several other layouts and took some pictures. With the help of some friends I decided on this next layout. This is how it will stay.



    And here it is under LED Lights



    I will post some more pics and do a proper build journal after work today.

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Yeah losing those two hurt. Their tank had a small hole at the back edge of the lid I failed to notice. 2 of them escaped, i sadly found one of them dead, but never did find the other. I thought I found the escape route and fixed it. Then 1 week later I was working in the frog room and this little black thing hops up to my foot. I scooped it up and it was one of my R. Vents. I thought it was the 2nd one come home. I cleaned him off and put him back in the tank only to see that is was a 3rd escape that had decided the life of a free frog didn't live up to all the hype and came back.

    Though it does now look like the 2 remaining vents are indeed a male and a female. They are starting to look like they may deposit some eggs!

    Lot and lots of calling coming from the male. The female looks like she might burst. I added some film canisters tonight. Time to leave the young couple alone and see if we get lucky!
