Nah, I guess I could just use the sites I recommended, to find other caresheets and link them.

Aquatic

Aquatic species spend all their time in the water. Many people use fish tanks as habitats for them. Some species will require a filter, however other species may do just as well with regular water changes.

African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis)



The African Clawed Frog is a good beginner species due to it's hardiness. It can grow up to 6" and has been known to live for over fifteen years in captivity.

Semi-aquatic

Semi-aquatic species may require a 50/50 land/water set-up, a largely aquatic set-up or a set-up with a prominent land area. This is achievable with glass terrariums or fish-tanks. Water may need to be heated and filtered depending on species.

Oriental Fire-Bellied Toad (Bombina orientalis)



Oriental Fire-Bellied Toads (or FBTs) are a great, active and hardy species originating from various parts of Asia. They are diurnal (active during the day time) and very attractive. Growing to roughly 2" they are a very popular frog.

Did you check the care sheets to see if they're any good?

Pollywog has quite a few maybe ask him for permission to use some.

What do people think of this layout?
If I've got any information incorrect please don't hesitate to correct me!

I will do the arboreal section after I've heard what people think to this.

Not yet. I had a quick glimpse. I just wanna get the basic layout and stuff sorted first so I just used what I could grab.
I'll check it over though.
I'll ask Pollywog!

I think it's good.

Pics, caresheets, basic description.

Perhaps if you can examples of set ups?

Now y'see... that's a good plan, but I hate you for it.

I now need pictures of set ups.

Eeeek. Just have a few vivs for each section.

You have your firebelly.

Most arboreal species will be pretty much the same. So you can use my Tiger viv and maybe a few others.

Same goes for terrestrial.

Just clarfiy that they're examples and beware of your frogs individual needs. i.e cane toad perhaps needing larger than pacman.

Ah! You mean a set-up per section, not per species?
Yeah that could work.
