I can't believe I'm thinking of getting anouther tank, as if 7 is'nt enough! But I at the local Pet store and he has set up this frog tank that he did up real nice and that gave me the idea for anouther tank. Has anyone ever done a fish/frog set up? What are some things that I might need to keep in mind if I do this? As if I won't, LOL.

What kind of frog?

This is important, whether you want some ADFs that reach a max of 2", or ACFs which get atleast 5" and love fishy treats ;)

Or are you thinking "Floating" frogs?? I heard about them, wish I could find out where to get 'em...

Try posting in the vivarium forum and see what they say.

Thanks will do, but upon farther investigation, i don't think it would work, but I'll ask

Easy to do. A larger hexagon or corner tank works really well. Partition the tank in half (or whatever what you want to divide it) with a piece of glass the height of 2" more than you want the water depth to be.

Buy 1 or preferably 2 small power heads. You will have to build a DIY undergravel filter to fit the aquarium part. This is easy to make with eggcrate, marbles, and plastic/nylon window screen. You'll need 1 length of UGF rigid lift tubing cut to fit so the powerheads are underwater. You can route the wires under the terrarium soil and up the back and hide with a plant.

That's about all there is to it. You have a dry side for the frogs and a water side for the fish. Easy!
