LOL this is going to be a fun thread..

This is very vague.. as in this isnt specific to any type of frog.
From my understanding a lot of the frogs we keep in the hobby arent found near water. They lay in broms etc. That tends to come up in the "#23Hole" comments that are given out to these newbs. Do you ever notice that EVERY newb, and I mean EVERY newb wants to come on here and immediately add a water feature. Its like the first thing they think about, the actual frogs as a second thought. I will admit I was the same way. My venture into this hobby started as a paludarium. Unlike many other newbs, I researched what I could put in with such a water based tank. Realized there wasnt much. Ventured toward darts. Researched more, then dropped the whole water idea.

Not that I am for or against water features. Nor know that much about the hobby as well. I am just observant of what others put.I would totally put one in a large tank, but it isnt for a 10vert or anything smaller than a 18" thick tank in my opinion. I think it is more of the focus as the issue. Anyway..

If education is really your cause, then you should do a little more research. I have a feeling this thread will end up in the dome.

Will wait for someone with more knowledge of specific species to chime in.

I never once said you were a newb.. and I completely understand what your saying and it makes sense. I think it is just the way the information was presented. Your right. And we agree. I think the abbrasiveness is due to the repeat threads of people having a 10g tank.. and at least 50% of it being a pond and they would like to keep a pair or trio of tincs. Just like you said. Its one of those situations where if done right like you say would be fine, where it takes no space but newer people take it out of hand. I think its just easier to say no though than to constantly explain the needs of the animal though. True hobbyist who are for the better of the animal are just tired of the threads and telling people that they are doing it wrong.

Cheers... lets get a beer

Also, to add to my earlier thoughts: This hobby, as small as it is, is extremely diverse. Wants range from pure display purposes to conservists of the species. You have some who get in it for the looks of the tank and water features and some who have a rack full of tanks with no false bottoms, sphag, leaf litter and enough to make the frog happy and breeding. Large range of individuals all trying to comment on what they like best to a person whom they have no idea of their intentions. They base the posters intentions on theirs or what they believe. Therefore several different answers for the same question and very opinionated posts. The key is how to learn to read through it and to determine your own best answer based on guidelines and opinions posted by others.

(all except for Ed of course, he is the threadstopper. I see people ask questions and all these opinions come out, then Ed answers. /end of thread)

Another thing our frogs are mainly captive bred(correct?) not WC so for that its not like were changing their enviornments,we've created our own little world for them . In this hobby just about all of our setups look the same. in other words our frogs will not know the difference between their wild enviornments to their new enviornments in which we have created over the years.

Wow... just wow. Natural instict?
I mean changing an animals environment they dont just adapt. I understand what your saying or what you were meaning but. I dont know. Just rubbed me the wrong way. Like... Ehh.. Nature!? Screw it lol
