That's a good idea about the wall and yeah I'd probably have it over flow.


The first Swarms Battle coming soon!
More updates too...


I got the little tree frog and I was not aware how small the frog is. Its so small it's crazy. I'm raising an infant tree frog now lol I'm praying it's a female. I thought it was. Anyways I had a big feeding day today. I gave them 3 rounds of crickets tonight and I was surprised what I saw. Ace seems to have become the leader again. She was moving all around and she seems to hunt the Banded Crickets the best along with Bane the larger male Gray Tree Frog. Wellsboro and Pious were pretty even. Wellsboro dug some holes in the substrate and the crickets hid in them. When I was home the tree frogs didn't eat but I found a lot of poop from them last week. I saw Belmont was as active as Ace so maybe it's just the female toads are more active but she was too small so she couldn't compete with Ace and the toads. The good thing about Belmont is she is tame and trusts me so when I grab her in the tank she lets me. I put her in the small holding tank with some crickets and she hunted down some of the banded crickets and got her fill. I put Christian in there too because he's the second smallest but he didn't eat any crickets. He is like Ace they won't eat unless in their enclosure. That's honorable but not good if they need to be separated from the others.

I think it will be great when there's only two toads because then the toads and tree frogs will get their fill and I won't have to worry about taking someone out. I think if it's just Belmont and another toad she will get some. Even Bane being a top hunter is small and has to take a break after eating one at a time. She would get a good opportunity to catch some Crickets.

I'm interested to see how the dynamics of each tank will change once the amphibians are split up. It will be interesting to see how Bane and Belmont and Wellsboro interact and how they will hunt and coexist. I'm excited to see how the fish will bring more life to the tank. If the baby frog is a female it will be nice to have all the inhabitants for the 125 gallon and will be cool to see how things change without Wellsboro and Bane. If I had to rank them in their hunting ability
Ace
Wellsboro/Pious
Bane
Christian/Belmont (Tied)

Christian can hunt very good but he's just so much smaller he doesn't catch food as easily as Bane. With 2 of the top 3 hunters being moved that should give Pious the opportunity to gain weight and for Christian to eat more because Meredith would take months to get big enough to go in. She won't hibernate unless she gets to 1 inch. I'll have to thin out the amount of crickets so they don't over run the enclosures. The Swarms Battles should be very fun because it would be like two sides at war and having different battles in different territories. We will get to see how a specific ecosystem handles the flow in and out of the crickets. I'll be able to add the Woodlice when the animals are split up.

The first Swarms Battle will be just the Banded Crickets because they are such a crucial part to the diet of these animals. I think I may use the Banded Crickets more then the European ones because the tree frogs and toads seem to like them and they dont escape. I think I got good shots of both species so I'll be putting the video together this week and next week.

I have been getting the most important supplements for my amphibians that I feel they need and it will help keep them healthier and happier. I believe these supplements are a necessity and for anyone who keeps toads and tree frogs separate or together the supplements on Josh's Frogs is the same. They will be posted below.

What do you think about Wellsboro and Bane being in the same enclosure with how dominant they are as hunters?

Are you excited to see Belmont the female one eyed toad and the baby tree frog?

How much do you think the dynamics of the 125 gallon will change for Ace Pious and Christian?

Did you know!
This may be the first time documented on YouTube the American Toad and Gray Tree Frog have hunted and eaten the Banded Cricket?
