Post your pictures of your setups. I'd like to get some new ideas for Phillip (my frog). My pictures are below, I just bought a tank to keep some rosies and mollys in so that I can keep him on a staple diet of fish instead of crix.

If the first two were frog set ups, then I think you need to downsize the water container. 1/3 to 1/2 is the most the frog would need. Most prefer to stay buried for a large amount of time and soak only occasionally.

Just imagine a ten gallon tank filled with six inches of coconut fiber and having a shallow Pyrex water dish. Since my horned frog chooses to bury herself for six months at a time, I do not have any elaborate setup for her. Makes things a cinch to clean when the time comes, though.
I would be worried about having fish in the same water as the frog uses. Fish produce a lot of ammonia waste, which could be harmful to the frog.

Nice frog . I don't have the fish in the same water, when it comes feeding time I just drop 1 or 2 in his water dish, and he snatches them up usually in the same day. I keep them in a seperate aquarium next to his tank.

Right now I have a plastic water dish (used under plants to hold in water), I'm trying to find something better. Any suggestions? I want about 50% of the tank a shallow water dish, and I can't find anything better to use. Thanks.

This is my tank
Though, I don't have six inches of substrate, only about 2-3. Is six inches neccesary?

I don't think you need six inches for a smaller horned frog. I only have that much because if there is not enough to completely cover Benny, you can hear her legs squeaking against the bottom of the tank as she tries to bury herself deeper.

I lined my tank with rocks first, (not gravel), and then put bed-a-beast on top, I heard that it helps to hold in the moisture. I'll probably add more substrate as Phillip grows.
