I just got my viv put together for my 4 Green Tree Frogs

[Kutschy]

I added a small pond for them to breed, at the moment 2 are lached onto eachother. Another male is calling like crazy. I believe the 4th frog is a female, I'm not sure at this point. It was dangerously skinny when I bought the poor thing. (long legged spiders got her eating again)

I just added a placo to the water section to take care of any algea, that won't prevent the female from laying her eggs will it?

If anyone has any tips for breeding I would appreciate the help being this is my first putting together a tank like that.

The fish will eat frog eggs if they're laid. Breeding these guys is pretty much exactly the same as breeding Gray Tree Frogs. Have a look at the care article for Grays - it's linked on every page of the site.

I really like the look of this terrarium. Those are some very lucky tree frogs.

Very nicely done.

I agree with Don and John (hey, that rhymes. ) That tank is very nicely done.

Looks real cool.Will all fish eat the eggs or only certain breeds?

Thanks for the positive comments . The bottom layer of the tank is planted aquarium rock substrate with another small layer of larger rock in the water portion and the dry portion was accomadated with the compressed peat soil. I have a fresh water plant in the pond but I don't recall what it is at the moment. The rock around my water dish is just some thinly broken lime stone rock I found while mushroom hunting. Lucky for me, larger surrounding rocks were covered in moss and I manage to get 12"x12" pieces pulled off. There is a waterfall type rock piece in the back corner. The plexiglass was 1-2$ and the aquarium calk was $5 and cured in 48 hours. The 1-3 gallon filter for the water section is air pump operated - $10.

I would think just about any fish would eat the eggs. I don't know if a bottom feeder like my placo would but I'm not going to risk it, other frogs will eat the eggs too I know.

I want to shave off a corner of a stump with a chainsaw so it's like a tall rounded acute triangle about 10" at the base and about 15" tall so it's like a wedge and then drill a couple 1.5" holes in it to hold a complementary sized branch from a tree with water gel cubes to keep it watered and fed for a while. I have cut down logs at my place with living branches on it going on for a year now so I bet I can keep them living easily with the sub tropic climate I have going on.

Placed in the peat or water, I imagine it would look really neat having a slice of a tree for them to climb on. Bass wood tree branches sounds like plan to me with the very broad leaves come to think of it. I would love to put more plants in the water since I have the planted substrate..... It's so easy for me to stick money into the tank. I have a hole in my pocket. Eek.

I've researched a bunch on set ups and breeding but I was looking for personal experience tips I guess. Playing a looped audio clip of tree frog calls the same breed type of hints. I was wondering if driftwood floating in the water and rocky sections would help give them a closely simulated ideal breeding ground and promote breeding. My habbitat is made from matierials and a person of Iowa in a sub tropic climate

Quick question, if I have Gray Tree Frogs in my viv, could it interfere with breeding? I believe my female Green Tree Frog is full of eggs and the female Gray that I found tonight by my pool appears to be full of eggs aswell.
