The UTH isn't necessary unless your temps are dropping too much. Mine is off for the summer, I *might* turn it on in winter, we'll see. I used a blue "moonlight" bulb for my frogs. I dont have two lamps though so I got sick of switching bulbs. I don't know much about red lights for the frogs.

SPRINGTAIL QUESTIONS:

2. How do i feed them?

Is it 54 in your house?

I had springtails occur naturally in my tank, probably from some of the plants or something. I don't feed them, there is enough decomposition in the tank between the plants, dead crickets, and frog poo in my tank for them to eat. They will not bug your frog.

Is it 54 in your house?

Yes. when it gets super cold here. Usually around low 60 at night. I live close to the beach and i have 2 big windows in my room. the wind blows in and cools the room.

so should i get the UTH or with the Night light be enough?

UTH:

where do i place it? I heard on the side of the tank or under the tank, but i will have a pond wont that warm up the water too much?

Thanks

When I used it, I had it on the lower back part of my tank, on the opposite side of the water.

[blood4eva69]

Ok. thank you. So what kind of springtails should i get?

I do have another question do tree frogs eat on the ground or in the tree??the reason im asking is because i want to add a food dish to the ledge i have on the tank.
