Hello from frogdaze

I dropped a female cricket in the tank last night with the male cricket and now they are both gone. I dumped another male/female in there tonight. We'll see what happens. Those males have GOT to go.

Try using a smaller size cricket. I use half inch crickets and they don't make any noise. I can tell by your complaint that you are using adult crickets and they will make noise.
Personally I love the sound of crickets (and frogs)
