Hello!

About 3 weeks ago I was at my best friend's house, and they were doing some outdoor cleaning in preparation for their 2 year old's birthday party. They were pressure washing the house when a little frog fell out from behind a shutter. I caught it so I could show it to the 2 year old, and on a whim, I decided to take him home and keep him (the frog, not the child :P ).

I'd had an aquarium and everything to go with it sitting and collecting dust since my failed attempt at keeping fish when I first moved away from home 9 years ago.

I set the aquarium up, put about 2 inches of water in it, some large rocks for land areas, the driftwood branches we used for our anoles from when I was a kid, and the tetra whisper filter I had for my fish.

I NEVER thought I'd take to this frog like I have. I've had a blast observing him and studying his habits. After googling my little heart out, I'm almost certain he's a juvenile gray tree frog. And really I have no clue if he's really a he, it just feels natural to call him that.

Anyway, since I've grown so attached to him in the three weeks I've had him, I have been doing a lot of reading trying to give him the best home and nutrition possible. I've discovered that I don't need this much water, so after I clean his tank tonight, I'm going to be turning it into a half and half. I've been trying to figure out if the filter is actually needed, but I do think I'm going to keep it in there. He plays in it every night sometimes sits under the waterfall (I have a large rock under the waterfall so it's not just splashing into the water making a lot of noise . . . the tank is in my bedroom, afterall) and lets it splash all over him.

Anyway, I'm rambling, and I thought I had some questions to ask in this thread, but I seem to be answering them for myself as I go.

If anyone has any tips for me, or can direct me to threads that will be helpful, I'd greatly appreciate it!
