Update:
After extensive research on my new little friend, I decided I needed to revise my terrarium a little bit. Everything I read said that the frog's habitat should be mostly land, with just a small, shallow body of water. Mine was about 60% water! So, to rectify this.....I simply built up the other side (leaving a pond and waterfall in the middle), and added more plants. I also got some live moss for groundcover...don't want any beach erosion! I think I like it much better this way.
Oh yeah, and in hopes of working towards a complete ecosystem (since I can't use algaecides and fungicides in there, due to the frog), I added some ghost shrimp and aquatic snails to the water. Hopefully, between those and the aquatic plants I got, it will keep the funk under control.....and eat any frog waste, so I don't have to constantly change the water. I got some mealworms for the frog, too....these crickets keep chewing on my orchids. I try to only put in there the amount he's going to eat, but it varies. He has acclimated wonderfully, and has even given me a little call so I would know he was a male.....overall, he seems to be nice and happy. He should be, I've been loading up his bugs with all kinds of fruit, nuts, and veggies!
Anyway, here's the new pics....
Also, the new light seemed a little bright for him, but I really didn't want to leave a bulb out to compensate (and make the orchids suffer in the process).....so, to break it up a little for the little guy, I cut different size strips of some tent-like material I had, and criss-crossed them to give a branching shadowed effect. It's much more "junglier" now.
