The gravel would be underneath the peat for drainage. Do they burrow? Becuase if they do then the gravel may be a problem, but otherwise I don't think it will be an issue.

They will not burrow but the crickets could get lost in a fluffy moss. You don't necessarily been a divider...you could ramp it. Just an idea. Although the water is easier to clean when separate.

I'll be careful when I feed so the crickets don't get away and I think I'll go with the divider so that I can do regular water changes easier.

Check out the new Tetrafauna Viquarium. Google it there is a good you tube video showing it. That's going to be my next setup for them.

That looks pretty cool, but I'm sure it isn't cheap.

There are a couple of different videos. You can make your tank 50% and use gravel to fill in the side where the waterfall and stream is.

FBTs love to be in groups they gently fight like dogs at feeding time but the rest of the time they'll be huddled together

I havent seen this Viquarium before. Man that thing is awsome. I am personally blaming you Cheri for showing me this because after iIpurchase it I know I'll be in the dog house w/the wife for a while for dropping more cash on my toads. Oh well at least the toads will love me in the end.

I know isn't the coolest thing? Its perfect for the FB toads. Its got the built in filter it looks easy to clean. If I hadnt dropped a small fortune on my darts and their new vivarium at the last show I would have gotten it then. But soon because the toads deserve it.

Its absolutly perfect. Im continually looking for ways to make my toads tank cooler and I think this is it. I was saving to get a couple Red Eye Tree Frogs but I might just put that on hold and get a bigger tank and a new set up for my toads.

Isu712, I'll give you some advice. Be carefull about promising to post picts in a certain time frame on this forum. We can tend to be a very inpatient bunch.

i was eyeing that viquarium as well. this is our first frog project and the tetrafauna setup seems to make things easy to start.

Thoughts on substrate with that setup? all the established ones i have seen seem to use the gravel. I would think that Hydroton clay pellets would be better than gravel, but i have ZERO experience with these environments....
