Need approval and suggestions on my new tank setup please

[Laurie]

I ordered tadpoles from online. The ad said it's from a variety of: TREE FROGS (GREEN, SQUIRREL,ETC), CHORUS FROGS, CRICKET FROGS, LEOPARD FROGS, The filter has small slits on the bottom, but I will keep an eye on it for my new tadpoles when I get them.

Wow, you sure have a variety of tads coming in, and I'm not sure about the different kinds, but I would be worried that the larger tads might eating the smaller ones. I know the filter you have, I used the same one. I use the sponge type filter sheets and rubberband to cover the slits.

OH! They might eat each other! That would be terrible! I'll seperate them if need be. And thanks for the tip on overing the slits on the filter.

Yes depending on tadpole size they can definitely eat each other. Also once they morph they will need separate tanks. Some may be fine together but your larger frogs, especially the leopards will eat the smaller frogs.

I would do a lot of research on each specie...

[Laurie]

Okay, I researched all the frogs listed. The chorus and cricket frogs are small, like you said, the leopard frog will eat them. If I get a leopard frog he'll have to have his own tank. Looks like I'm safe with the tree frogs too. Thanks for the info. I should have researched the frogs in the first place to make sure they could live together. I'm using distilled water for my future tadpoles. Is this good for them? I've heard so many different opinions.

Don't know much about raising frogs, but that would be a 40 gallon vivarium.

Your saying the set up in the piture is a 40 gallon vivarium? Or I will need a 40 gallon vivarium?
