    I would create partial land with rock or something similar so they have a gradually sloping way to land

    So rocks alone are good enough? I see a lot of tanks with substrate. I want to make it look nicer in the future but just for now wanted to do the rocks. Also wanted to make sure that a bunch of rocks piled high isnt going to be bad for the aquarium. Im sure thrse are silly questions- i really have no idea what im doing it seems

    Umm, if you are planning on keeping the bullfrogs, either get them 3 separate 150 gallon tanks, or one 450 gallon. Bullfrogs are insanely large and powerful jumpers, and kept in anything smaller than 150 for one or 450 for three, will rub their faces on the glass trying to find more space (especially a group of three in a 20 gallon) and will get nose rub (sores from rubbing their snouts on glass) and will get infected, and without proper vet prescriptions will die, so either get the tanks, or find a way to re home them. Also, these guys need large water areas, so you would have to filter, and still provide land, so it is not worth the trouble of keeping them. Just my two cents

    i bought them from a pet store as an educational experience for my son who absolutely loves frogs. I was told that it would be fine to raise them and then release into the wild once they are adults. So i guess im just wondering about the transition stage right now. Id like to make thier cage nicer as they get older esp. If i have them until spring but was told they just may be ready in the fall.
