New frog tank

Okay. I have the most spoiled frogs on the planet. There are seven fire-bellied toads in the tank. They were in a 10-gallon but I really wanted to go from a mostly land tank to a mostly water tank.

My sister and I spent plenty of time at Petco picking things out yesterday. We ended up getting a 20 gallon (long) tank, a reptile filter, a big rock formation and a rocky bridge. The filter serves as a filtration system (duh) as well as pretty sound and a small water feature. This morning I got another plant with a suction cup for the back wall too. The frogs love to climb the vines and stuff.

What do you think of the tank?


Here's what the tank looks like during the day.


And here it is at night!

This is the bridge Danielle found. It has suction cups so it will stick to the side. On the left you can see the bubbles from the waterfall.


This is the magnetic rock my mom picked up for me. I put it just above the water so they can climb right up. They can get to the bridge from it too.


The fish tank light is nice because it isn't too bright but gives a nice glow at night. I'm sure the frogs are grateful for mood lighting.


Leap frog on the bridge.


A re-enactment of cliffhanger by one of the frogs.


The submarine effect. Awesome.

New frogger!

This is my new frog Uno! I got him at Petco today while I was getting crickets. Yeah, definitely didn't go in for a frog but I came out with one! I was just looking at all the animal tanks and saw him in the pond. He looked a little funny and eventually I realized that he only has one eye. There isn't even a socket on the other side. I mentioned it to the guy that works with the animals and he asked if I wanted to adopt it (a.k.a. take it home for free). I felt bad leaving him there so I took him home. That makes 7 frogs in the tank. Honestly though, the fire-bellied toads are a lot of fun to watch and not difficult to take care of.
