How to set up a Starry night reed frog BioActive enclosure

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Bio Dude's channel. Today I am going to be constructing a 18x18x18 Frog & Co enclosure from Exo Terra for Starry night reed frogs. I really like the design of these enclosures, and I am excited to utilize it for a breeding pair of frogs that my late friend Jason really enjoyed when he came to visit. We're going to miss you brother, you touched so many lives around you, you were so full of life, and the world feels dimmer without your presence. Below I included the items I have in this build so that if you wanted you could replicate it at home. Thank you for watching! Let us know if you have any questions below.

[@kaylahmachtell466]

Thank you SO much for doing a video on Reed Frogs!!! There’s almost no resources out there for these little guys and it made me so happy to see this! It would be a huge benefit to reed frog owners/newbies if you made more videos like this 😊

MY HEART! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[@jeffbucklew4976]

Condolences to you and yours.

[@RedneckJessi]

Can you use Horse Tail plants with these frogs? Always thought it would be cool to have those frogs in with the HT Reed plants.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Since you can grow them in an aquatic base, I believe they would do well in this type of enclosure.

[@RedneckJessi]

@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter thanks!

[@kabouterlui5935]

[@thereptilegarden4988]

So could stary reeds live in an 18x18x12? I have one that I'm wanting to setup and these guys are so cool to me.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

one would be fine but they would use a larger space if given.

[@polsondemott16]

"Cuz the earth is pissed" 😅

[@kfeldman5066]

what booster do you add for the plants? I see on your site you offer fluval plant micronutrients as well as fluval biological enhancer. should you add both?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey there K! The dude uses his own Bioshot mix, i will link it and an informational blog on it as well. www.thebiodude.com/products/bio-shot-per-6-qt-bag & www.thebiodude.com/blogs/the-science-behind-the-soils/bio-shot Hope it helps!
