I didn't end up getting a filter because of the lid issue. The 10 gallon I have has major gaps and I ended up buying the 20 gallon screen type lid. Hopefully water changes and plants to provide aeration will be enough. I have filters (plural) for the turtle and she still needs water changes so we'll just do them at the same time.

The gravel I have in there is large, more like marble-sized or larger pebbles. I didn't have a ton so I used larger rocks to prop up the plants. I just read that's a no-no so I will pull the large rocks out before the frogs go in.

It has some live plants and I treated it with Aquasafe and SafeStart. I'm not sure how long to let it sit. I guess I will test it in the morning but I'm not sure if I should let it cycle longer - these poor frogs are in such a tiny container right now.

I also got them a snail (it's already in their tiny "tank") since the manual said it's good for them, but the site Terry recommended said snails carry parasites. Arg! So much conflicting info. If I put the snail with my turtle, she will eat it but I don't want the frogs to get sick either.

I will keep feeding the frog pellets until I can get the frozen food. I only have dried bloodworms right now and it sounds like those aren't a good choice. Are Zoo Med "Can O whatever" foods good? I did see those at the store and I read this afternoon that they like the shrimp one, but I wasn't sure if that was safe or not. The pet store only rarely carries live food, I already asked.

Thanks for all the help so far as I mutter curses at my mom for getting me into this unprepared.
