Mold in FBT tank

Langi Jun 01, 2005 02:36 PM

My setup for my fbt is growing mold. I have a small log separating the land, which is peat moss and aquarium gravel, and the water. I was gone for about four days and my sister was feeding the toads, when I got back, there was white mold growing on and around the log. Should I take the log out for good or should I clean it and put it back? Should I change the substrate? I also have a live plant on the land side. The kind used in those vase tanks for beta fish. What other kind of setups look good and work well for the toads. These guys are my first amphibians so I don't have alot of experiance to work with. Thanks.

Did you get the log from outside, if so that's probaly why. I would just throw it away.

I'll tell you a good way to make a setup for the FBT's. OK get some river rocks, the ones that are big enough so the toads can't accidently eat one. And slope it down into the bottom of the tank. So that it is about 4-5 inches high. ANd just add water.

It'll have a land part and a water part, you might want to get a whisper 10i filter though, that'll help with the water changes.
