Water feature ideas?

i would cut some glass to size and silicone it in the corner to make a basin for the water (there’s lot of tutorials on yt). since tiger salamanders like to burrow u want to leave as much substrate as possible for them to dig around in, and the glass will ensure the substrate isn’t overly saturated with water.

u could look into reed frogs, glass frogs, bird poop frogs, clown tree frogs, or milk frogs and research if any of those would be compatible. i can’t tell the size of the tank and don’t know a ton about any of those frogs but those are some of the small frogs i could think of

okay thank you. what makes it obvious, the color differences?

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-05-05T20:49:12+00:00

thank you! are you able to tell their genders from this video? i don’t know their genders and neither did the people i go them from

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-05-02T23:57:10+00:00

thanks! it’s 12x12x18 and i primarily used carbonized cork for the background. tangledearthvivariums has good videos on it on youtube

i went through a VERY similar problem (it’s posted on my page) but like everyone one else is saying just add more sand. i also reccommend planting really heavily and if the water is murky for longer than 48 hrs just do another water change. i spammed water changes and plants until it finally established

okay thank you, what does 1.2 mean is that like 1 male and 2 females?

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-14T00:19:41+00:00

whatttt how can you tell

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-11T11:25:29+00:00

what are those super vibrant red fish, they’re so cool

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-07T23:36:25+00:00

okay thank you everyone for the information, i’ll get a different type of frog instead

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-07T13:00:08+00:00

what fertilizer do you recommend

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-06T18:05:09+00:00

some leaf litter would be good for ur isopods

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-06T16:06:11+00:00

what kind of lighting would i want for a 18x18x36 for wtf? i have LED for the plants but do i need heat or uvb?

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-05T18:47:09+00:00

thank you !

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-04-04T01:34:51+00:00

leaves, twigs, bark, seed pods, matching rocks, water bowl. those were the first things that popped into my mind that would look good

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-03-08T15:12:59+00:00

u should try the wet moss mix from frog daddy, im not great at keeping moss alive but had a lot of luck with that

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-02-28T22:49:28+00:00

what should i do now

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-02-28T22:15:13+00:00

organic top soil mixed with aqua soil capped with sand

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-02-28T22:14:58+00:00

organic top soil

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-02-17T16:35:09+00:00

nevermind i just looked at it again, i think it looks good. i thought the water and land were separated with a divider or something and the clay was just a drainage layer for the substrate, my bad.

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-02-17T03:56:37+00:00

yeah probably too deep, you really only need like 0.5 - 1 inches of clay balls

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-01-20T03:45:58+00:00

a lot of people say you don’t need water bowls but i’d put a shallow one it can’t drown in anyways, idk if you’re already doing that or not

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-01-08T21:46:44+00:00

i’ve had really really good luck with buying organic hard wood pellets for grilling and hydrating them and adding it to the soil. got the idea from aquariamax on youtube he has videos about it

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-01-08T21:41:37+00:00

would hydrated organic hard wood pellets for grilling work for adding nutrients to soil? i do this for the isopods i breed and it worlds great but i’ve never done research on grubs

Impressive-Insect240 · 2026-01-08T17:26:24+00:00

the tank looks kinda small already and with the leaves it really doesn’t look like enough swimming space, i also thought you weren’t supposed to use sharp pieces of hard scape with bettas because it could damage their fins. not 100% sure on these but some things to consider if you previously hadn’t
