Hello everyone. I recently bought an exo-terra front-opening 18"x18"x24" terrarium and set it up with a false bottom, about 5"-6" of substrate (1st layer gravel, then flourite soil little sphagnum mixed in for air) and a small, shallow pond area. The powerhead Im using is turning the water over about 25 times an hour through some filterfloss and bio-balls, not to mention the rocks the water exits onto. got 2 full-spectrum cf bulbs running and tomorrow im gonna buy some plants. sometime far into the future I will buy a frog. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on frogs that make nice sounds at night, or thoughts on what frogs sound the best. Do tigerleg monkey frogs make noise? This is my first terrarium personally but Ive worked with animals for years in zoos/pet trade. suggestions could include something not TOO hard to find (they have a store here with some nice amphibians, monkeyfrogs, retf, dumpys(?), darts) and nothing that eats fruitflies please.

ALSO any opinions on red/blue/whatever color nightlights for frogs. Ive heard mixed reviews (stim. natural activity vs. frogs maybe can see it/stress inducing). Thanks for your suggestions.
