The male frog died about 6 months ago, but the female is still strong and active. I have taken over custody of the frog :-) What I'm curious about, is how these comments are saying the tanks need cleaning. The water in this tank hasn't been changed in months (if at all), and the snail is long gone, but the water looks fine to me and there is nothing building up anywhere on the tank. How can you tell when it's time to "clean" the tank, and what should be done at that time? I'm hesitant to do anything drastic because the frog seems happy and active. I'd hate to tamper with the environment and kill it by accident :-( There was some algae looking buildup floating around at one point, and I just scooped it out in chunks to as not to tamper the environment too drastically all at once (I took out about half, then half of what was left a few days later, and then after about a week I had all of it out).
