I AM BUYING A PACMAN FROG IN 2 DAYS AND I NEED TO KNOW IF COCONUT FIBER IS BETTER THAN AQUARIUM GRAVEL. AND ALSO DOES A 25 WATT LIGHTBULB PRODUCE A SUFFICIANT HEAT SOURCE OR SHOULD I EVEN GO WITH A LIGHTBULB

PLEASE REPLY FAST!!!
ANY INFO WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED

First off. Dont post in caps, its annoying and insinuates yelling.

Secondly. *Calm* down. You do not need to post your question twice. It wont get answerd any faster and in fact it might discourage people to answering your thread. Be paitent this is a *forum* not a *chat* people are not on here 24/7.

Now for your questions.

Coconut Fiber is much better then gravel. Gravel is bad for pacmen as they are verocious eaters and might swallow some gravel. If they swallow some gravel it might cause impaction. So go with the coconut fiber. Also bed-a-beast is very good.

As for your heat source. The best way to heat your pacman is an overhead heat source. A heatlamp with the appropriate lightbulb.

I have a 5 gallon long tank and i use a normal incadesant 25watt bulb in a heatlamp resting right on the screen top and i reach temps up to 83 directly under the lamp.

So it depends on what size tank you use. You need to get a digital (not one of those cheap round flukers ones) and basically test it out. You want temps or around 78-85. I deal is prolly 80-82.

BTW these two questions could have been answerd by yourself if you just scrolled down through the postings in this forum. Both were answerd for you no more then half way down.
