And one more thing, can you keep frogs in temporary tanks as to get the final tanks completely sorted so you dont have to constantly stress them? |

I would suggest keeping any new frog in a temp tank (I do this with every new frog to check for ill health and to make sure they are feeding well)
I do this:
basic plastic tub (I dont know the size but its the large ones you can get from the pound store)
long fibre sphagnum moss few pothos cuttings and a couple magnolia leaves.. once I am happy with health ect then i move them into a perm viv. _________________ Paul

I found more space and figured I would start building the collection up more and more to what it was before things changed...
As for breeding firebrats I dont have space for that and feed a number of foods to my frogs with corect suplimentation having a fish tank with heat ect isnt an option for me right now and the frogs dont miss out _________________ Paul

One off my temp vivs, just a normal geo-viv kind off set-up, you will have to check temps and humidty as they can change with diffrent ones, as i have some that keep the humidty better then others for some reason.
Hope the pic is not too big

Cool, i wish you the best mate yer i see where you are with the firebrats, take all the room for a fish tank, (umm stick some frogs in that gap ) but the frogs get all the food they need and there supplements so it all good _________________ Kieron
