spoon Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 they would be but im not really interested in finding food for them and all that would much rather have fish, ive kept axies in there before but its a shallow water part so it got too warm for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Mud skippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 yeah id love to try them one day but it may be hard finding brackish plants also finding mudskippers ive never seen them for sale down here. it would quickly turn into a very long project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ismart120 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 What about turning it into a white cloud minnow/whistling tree frog setup? Not heated for either, easy to set up and I cant imagine they'd bother each other; the tree frogs wouldn't even really go into the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navarre Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 there are some nice mountain clouds about short and long fins and normals and golds they might be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismart120 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Actually, thats a good point - they do have a fondness for drowning as I remember. :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Mudskippers and archerfish! Have a small mud bank with some branches and let some insects loose in there - enjoy the hunt! :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 to give you an idea of the tank here is a thread with some photos of it http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=32010&hilit=frog+tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismart120 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 You wouldn't use it to grow more bell frogs in, say from tadpoles, and once they were adults, you could go with a few smaller coldwater fish in the bottom? White clouds, paradise fish, even slightly heated and have cories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
