Today I setup a new enclosure for my split frogs.

Water a but murky but should clear up over the next day.

Hoping to put some minnows or possibly guppies in the water at some stage.

Any ideas/suggestions welcome.

Should I cycle the water? If so how? :dunno:

Uv light wouldn't go a miss. I'm trying a couple of these atm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Reptiles-turtles/Other/auction-393825297.htm so far very happy with the colours the frogs are displaying.

Cycle is ultimate, but it's too late in the day for cycling haha

A little filter in the water, or small under gravel filter would help if there isn't one in there already.

Couple of minnows/guppies would help cycle it, may want a heater in there depends though :dunno: .. . . . . . . . . fish = water testers? :facepalm:

Otherwise looking good :thup:

If your going to heat it put a heater in(I would suggest for minnows and guppies)

Add filter

Add a few drop of pure ammonia (not cloudy) every few days or fish food ect.

Do 20% water changes every 2-3 days

Test water parameters for ammonia

A few weeks later test for nitrite

And finally a few weeks later test for nitrates.

you may be able to get a fitting similar (that has a screw fitting) if not the same as what you already have. not ideal but im using something similar for now.

a couple of frogs wont create much waste, so the fish idea is a good one, just keep up with water changes.

litoria ewinigii / brown (aka whistling) tree frog

have seen a few with yellow thighs, but don't recall seeing orange, or at least not as vibrant orange as that before.

here's a young one i took a pic of last year. unrelated/ or at least from a different location to the above frog.

I got to go see my frogs the other day. They're off getting bred and a few tests done. Here's hoping this year or next there may be some more of these frogs around.

Meet strains: Custard and Cream.

One on the left is recovering from liver troubles I think, still a bit puffy, but looking ok.
