Nice job Jen!
It looks like you have the tree frog in a 20 high - correct? I think they make the best tree frog tanks, both visually and functionally.
I have always wanted to keep Archer fish myself. Are you familar with these fish? They are very beautiful with unusual patterns and some color..they are really cool and unusual hunters too.
The idea I have (ie; the voices in my head that talk to me when I am alone - lol) is to take a 20 or 30 high and fill it with water 1/3- 1/2 way up and have branches or small logs both in and out of the water. This way you could place crickets on the dry branches and, as they crawl around, watch as the Archer fish either shoots them with a squirt of water, so the cricket falls into the water and is lunch for the fish, or the Archer will sometimes jump from the water to snap up small food items from low hanging branches or on leaves over te water.
The ony drawback is that Archer fish like brackish water, and although I have successfully keept a saltwater reef tank for many years, it is a pain keeping the salinity correct and the salty water requires lots of glass maintainance.
Awesome job! Great, now I really, really want a spider, fish and more frogs now..
