i talked to a guy today about fruit flies and i learned that the are flightless. lol so that changes a lot of things... i expected the annoying ones you find in your kitchen from time to time. but anyways, the reed frog looks like a very cool frog, and something i could manage quite easily. the fact that multiples can be cept in a ten gallon tank is nice too, *** i have a viv being set up in a 10 gallon. i would only keep one, myself, but its nice to know.

thank you very much for the recommendation, bill
