FBT checklist

[Amoa123]

i know what sort of tank i will be getting but what other stuff should i use gravel/eco earth and if any of you use lighting etc but most importantly i would like to find out what filters people use and if possable one that i could attach a hose to for a waterfall.




thanks for any help

I use fine gravel on the bottom, then pebbles and bogwood as a land area.
Lighting I use a 5% UVB bulb.
The filter I use is a Trixie Aquapro Innen-filter M200
It came with a piece of hose

thanks will have a watch of the video later no sound on here at the moment

i dont suppose you remember were you brought the filter it seems nowhere in the uk sell it did you get it from abroad?
is the uv light actually for the toads purpose or live plants (i will probably have one for visability any way) but havnt seen any mention about uv on any caresheets?

Some don't say it's essential and so don't use it, but UVB rays do help frogs and toads create d3 which prevents bone deformities.
I've only got a 2% one in at the moment as my chameleon is sucking up all the 5%, but I'll switch it to a 5% bulb when I can afford it!

Should I get my FBTs a UVB light then?? I have a desk lamp over them for part of the day, it provides a little warmth and I can see them better.

I'd say do it, others wouldn't say it's necessary.

Fluval 1 is probably your best bet. I just picked the aquapro up in a petshop.
