safe aquarium deco?

African clawed frogs tend to freak out really easily and dash around the aquarium and crash into things when sudden noises, or light changes occur. Anything rough or sharp has a good chance of injuring a frog.

I personally use malaysian driftwood with java fern attached to it for decor. It gives the frogs a nice hideaway and it looks nice.

For sand, caribsea makes a really fine grain white sand called moonlight, I've had it in my tank for years and it works great. You just need enough to cover the floor of the tank really, wouldn't go over an inch deep unless you need substrate for live plants.

Large river rocks work fine but you'll wind up with a dirty tank eventually, a lot of gross stuff will fall within the rocks and it's kind of a pain to clean it. With sand you can vacuum it right off easily when you do water changes.

I have river sand in my frog tank now, but will most likely be changing it to Caribsea Sunset Gold sand here in the near future when I upgrade their tank.

I use playsand that I rinse very well.

Like Michael said, river rocks allow a lot of detritus to fall under the rocks. This can lead to high nitrates and even increase the risk of pathogens.

Just don't pick any kind of calcium sand as will cause impaction.
