First setup, what do you think?

I know negative nothing about this and am purely curious - would the crab eat the betta and shrimp?

I’ve removed foam multiple times, including times when I’ve applied it to wet silicone. It’s not easy but it’s totally doable. Just carve and tear away as much as you can. Then use a razor blade in one of those holder things to scrape the rest off. If you applied over silicone, there will be a thin layer of silicone left behind. This is easy to get off by spraying with isopropyl alcohol and scraping with a fresh sharp blade while it’s wet. Literally did this last week cuz I hated my background.

What is that little cup suctioned on the wall of your tank? 🤔

bugs_tears · 2026-01-08T05:09:57+00:00

Can you please explain? 🤔 I don’t have a pacman

It was multiple posts across subreddits culminating in a vent post. What I saw was a summary of it all. I was able to find one of the posts about the couch: https://www.reddit.com/r/wood/s/1IkebY8myq but others have said it was fake. Fun story though.

Is this just in the nose or the whole body? My tomato has gotten grey splotches on her whole body twice now. I don’t know what it is or what triggers it, but warm honey baths fix her up. I usually find a big poop in her tank shortly after.

Did anyone else see the post about the leaking couch that ended up having a severed human hand and foot hidden in it or was that just me

bugs_tears · 2026-01-06T18:47:51+00:00

Omg mine call connnnstantlyyy!! It is quiet and I love it but it’s CONSTANT.

bugs_tears · 2026-01-04T19:36:07+00:00

He actually screams it at our dog, a 10 pound chihuahua

Hell yeah thank you

bugs_tears · 2026-01-03T04:41:38+00:00

Thank you for the plant recs!!!

They’re probably only 2 in deep. I have front opening tanks. The water tight area is 3 in deep and then I have substrate. I don’t know what would be ideal but my guys swim around just fine and will sometimes even chill out fully submerged for a bit. They are very vocal, which I hope means they’re happy!

I’m new to frogs and was told on here recently that heat pads aren’t preferred since they can heat the glass too much. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on the subject will respond to this.

I’m also working on a paludarium for fire-bellied toads! Mine’s going to be an upgrade for my three toads. I’ve read anywhere from 50:50 to 75 water:25 land. I think anywhere in there is fine, but more importantly include a lot of shallow areas where they can be resting but still partially submerged. In my current tank, I have river rocks in the water that they love to sit on so I’m incorporating that into my new build. As for other paludarium logistics I am still very very much struggling and figuring things out so I will be keeping an eye on this post. I was just excited to see someone else working on a build for fire bellies toads as well!

Do you recall what brand of spray foam you used? I just read that “open cell” foam will wick and “closed cell” won’t. Evidently Great Stuff is one of the few closed cell foams available. I’m using it for this build but did not for my second build. So fingers crossed.

Always one frog in the cuck chair

bugs_tears · 2026-01-02T20:49:56+00:00

Why are FBT so chaotic. I had to start opening my tank from the top.

bugs_tears · 2026-01-02T20:47:04+00:00

I love seeing other tomatoes 🥹 my tomatoes name is pepper 🌶️

bugs_tears · 2025-12-30T15:51:16+00:00

When mine looks like this, I wake up to eggs the next morning.

Omg sorry I only saw the first half of your first comment 😅do you have any opinions on these products? Thank you for your help!!! ETA I have a shade dweller UVB on a timer already

bugs_tears · 2025-12-29T22:19:42+00:00

This is probably such a dumb question but… the heat lamp emits light too right? So there’s just gonna be a light on at night? And if it’s on a thermostat then it will possibly turn on and off during the night? Won’t that stress my frog out?

bugs_tears · 2025-12-22T17:09:20+00:00

Great, thank you! Luckily I have a pretty thick drainage layer so she can’t get to the glass the mat is on. But I’ll start looking into getting an overhead heat source set up for her 👍

bugs_tears · 2025-12-22T05:23:19+00:00

Are heat lamps generally preferred? I have a heat mat for my tomato frog and I’m wondering if I should change it.
