What causes them to change colors? At the pet store one was olive green and one was dark, almost black. By the time we put them in the tank at home they were bright green.

I was in a hurry to get their tank set up and I didn't have enough gravel to make the land side as high as I wanted. I thought it would be ok...it's not. The water level went up into the coco substrate a little. There's moss on top so it's not super wet, just damp. The main concern is the water has turned brown. I'm guessing from some substrate washing into to it. You can see clearly through the water, it's just brown like tea colored. Is it ok for now? Or does it need to be change asap?

We forgot to buy a test kit for the water. I can pick one up Monday but will the frogs get out of the water if it's "bad"? They've been loving the water so far and I've been taking that as a good sign.

Also, I'd really love to put real plants in eventually but I know nothing about them. Does anyone have any easy plants that could live in the "dry" side? I'd like something on the wet side too but the only substrate I have over there are large turtle pebbles so I don't know if anything would work.

I think that's all my questions right now.
