    The pothos is actually scindapsus exotica, it's been mislabelled in Australia for a while. If you let it grow up a flat surface vertically it will shingle - lay flat against the surface and internodes get much shorter so leaves overlap. It'll look gorgeous in the frog habitat, especially with the silver highlights. Loving these videos Paul :) ❤❤

    You're making me want a paludarium sooo bad - stop it! LOL I'd love to see you feed the frogs and mudskippers.
    And pothos rhymes with moth ohs, it's one of the few plants I actually recognized. Just imagine a scared little moth with his mouth in a big O shape and you'll never forget it.

    Thank you so much for mentioning the lifespan of the foam. I've watched so many of these type of build videos and I'm always wondering about their lifespan and whether I should use that material or not (if I'm wanting a longer-term paludarium setup that I won't want to pull down/change). Thanks. Great video and easy sub, cheers.

    Where can you buy the aquarium foam? I could not find any foam of that size. Also can you do a video on how to breed marsh frogs as I have been trying for a few years but never succeeded.

    • @paulstingray
      @paulstingray  6 місяців тому +2

      I sell the foam if you’re local otherwise most Aquarium pond places should be able to to get it in for you if they don’t stock it. Frogs are incredibly easy to breed. I have to actually reduce water levels to stop my breeding because I have way too many at the moment. I’ll try and do a marsh frog video in the next few weeks.

      Finer is better as certain frog species can get impacted when they go for crickets and swallow gravel.

    What is the cleaning maintenance with this setup? I was going to go bioactive but after seeing this I love this! Just not sure how it would stay clean without a cleanup crew that you have with a bioactive set up

    • @paulstingray
      @paulstingray  Рік тому +1

      It depends on the species you keep. These frogs tend to only produce waste in the water so I treat it like an aquarium and do weekly 10-15% water changes and check pH / NO3.
      Very low maintenance
      It goes more by the nitrifying bacteria living in the sponges than a terrestrial cleanup crew .

    Do you need a UVB globe for marsh frogs, or would a full spectrum planted tank led light do the trick?
    And could fish be kept in the same tank? If so, which species?

    • @paulstingray
      @paulstingray  3 місяці тому +2

      Most Frogs benefit from UVB but the albinos will get eye damage from UVB unfortunately so I don’t run UVB with the albinos. You could keep small peaceful fish with the frogs but it is quite possible the frogs well try and eat the fish in the shallow water. as a rule frogs don’t try and eat fish and deeper water but if there’s a small fish in front of them while they’re sitting in the shallows, they can try.

    • @paulstingray
      @paulstingray  7 місяців тому

      Howdy!
      Depending on the species of green frogs it would be suitable but you would want a tank with added hight as they are climbers unlike these marsh frogs. So you would want to go 60-90cm high and add more branches for places to climb.

      I’ve had mixed reviews from our local aquarium/reptile stores. Some are saying to stay away from the water at the bottom (something to do with a slime coat maybe) and just have a dish. And if doing a bio active you’ll need to pull it all out about in a year to re-do the soil. So I’m abit confused on what is the best option. I love the idea of a waterfall or misting and live plants

    • @paulstingray
      @paulstingray  7 місяців тому

      @kh3681 The main issue with big green tree frogs is they will poop in the water.
      And that can cause issues with bacteria etc. it all depends on maintenance,size of the enclosure and size of the animals being kept.
