    Well, for the 30 gallon tank you mentioned on the other post, what you could do is either get a barrier to do a half and half tank in the middle (like a large rock or some glass and sealant or a viquarium sold at petsmart/petco) a couple of lily pads or other floating items with all water, or a terrestrial setup with a massive water dish

    Thank you. I would definitely like to try to recreate the waters edge of a pond in his tank, if possible.

    Hello

    He's a Northern Green frog. I thought he was a bullfrog at first, but because he has ridges down his back, that rules out bullfrog

    Man, he is a handsome little devil. Best of luck with the mending! Pond edge is kinda tricky, the fine balance between dirt and muck....

    Either way he is a cutie
    I have read that it's tricky to make water and land if your new to making these kind of tanks. Now that's just what I have read, because I have no idea how hard it is lol.
    I know people make them and I'm sure someone will be here to help you out. Hope it goes well for you and Pickle Banjo ( I just love that name rotfl!).

    I stopped looking up frog tanks and started looking up turtle paludariums. I think his tank will be closer to theirs since they tend to live in the same kind of environment. I'd like to make the bottom rocky so I can avoid as much muck as possible. He seems to be happy in his temporary tank right now with a couple rocks and a plant with some water, so I'm hoping he will do fine in a mock pond edge minus the slime and bog, haha! We shall see!!

    Both pothos, and certain kinds of moss love water, and other plants... they know us at the local lowes and greenhouse quite well. Tis now the season to get some prime sand(for under the gravel) and some plants or bulbs from plants in your local streams. Theres also some grasses i find in ponds that grow under water. Rinse all the muck off and see if they take to your sand!

    We gots bullfrog tads(btw bill i donated a clutch to the local vo tech for the horticulture class pond) and ima keep 1. For their home i just stuck a shovel in the side of the pond and brought it home in a bucket lmao. Water too. Downfall, the wretched smell, things growing like mad tho and i look for it to be ready for the froglet when its time... the pond is now backfilled... broke my heart lol

    The viquarium would work for him, looks like a waterfall, and has a filter, which for semi-aquatic animals (and aquatic ones for that matter) is almost a necessity

    I'm going to keep looking up pictures and watching videos until I'm seeing aquascapes in my sleep!

    Thank you, and I love his name too. I look for any chance I can get to say it, haha!
