recent photos
So I cleaned the tank last night and actually remembered to snap a few (dozen) photos afterwards! Here are my favorites.
remember, you can always click a picture to see it much larger!!

Nice pics. I have a very sick froggie right now. I was thinking of getting him (her?) a friend after he gets better. How does that work out? Also--what would be great ornamentation for him in his tank? I am not a fan of the silly castle stuff--right now he has plants and rocks...I was thinking of making him a cave out of rocks...
For two frogs, you need at least a 20 gallon tank. Make sure none of the ornaments have metal on them, that will kill the frogs. They need somewhere to hide. By the time a frog looks sick, it might be too late to help him. Make sure the water is really clean. I like to use Koizyme to prevent infection, it is made for ponds and Koi fish, so a tiny bit is all it takes. Try your local pond supply store, they'll have it in the refrigerated section. You also need to feed the frog reptile or amphibian sinking pellets of some sort, fish food won't keep them alive very long. You may email me friendstacy at yahoo if you have more questions, or try the froggie friends yahoo group, they should be able to help guide you.
I don't have any more recent photos, but it is time to clean their tank. I'll take a few pictures after I do that! They still look about the same. thanks for the comment.

And if you get another frog, make sure it's about the same size. Anything that will fit in froggie's mouth will get eaten.
The frogs look great! Do you have anymore recent pics of them?!

You, maybe, were mistaken?
that's always a distinct possibility.
