I piled the rocks up over the half-flowerpot hidey cave to give the tank another level. There is also a resin hollow log for them to hide inside, and I put a terra-cotta dish to make it easier to feed them (and clean up what food does not get eaten). The plants are suction-cupped to the sides, but they look very realistic for the cheapest plastic plants I could find at the petstore! Hobby Lobby was closed yesterday, Sunday, so I didn't get to check out what sort of artificial plants they had. I'm sure their prices would be much better than those at the petstore.I'm continuing to do a fishless cycle. The old dirty filter from our guppy tank is inside the big filter on the frog tank, and I have been using the turkey baster to suck up the scum and gunk from the bottom of the tadpole jar and from the gravel in the guppy tank, doing small partial water changes every day, and putting all the dirty water and gunk in the new tank to give the good bacteria stuff to eat.

what is the smallest size of tank that 3 frogs can have? and can you buy it from the GAF website?
thanks :)
i wouldn't want to try to keep three adult clawed frogs in anything smaller than a twenty gallon aquarium. i don't think you can get them from grow-a-frog, but any local petshop will have a decent selection.
what about 1 or 2 frogs?
is 1.5 litres enough for 2 frogs?
1.5 litres is about a third of a gallon? no. that would not be anywhere near big enough. what i was told is that you really should have about ten gallons per frog, which is why i went with the larger aquarium. a larger tank is easier to keep clean, too. my frogs have never attempted to escape. you might want to look into getting an african dwarf frog instead. they don't get nearly as large as the clawed frogs.
