I have a empty Fish tank, I'm looking to upgrade my Chacoan Horned in to this tank.

What sorts of setups do people here use? I'm open to suggestions

Years ago when I was breeding the Ornate species, I always found that a bare bottom tank was the simplest and indeed safest for the frogs. Just tip the tank on enough of an angle to provide about an inch of water at one end. They need scrupulously clean (de-chlorinated) water to remain healthy. A layer of damp peat moss looks good but I had problems with the frogs ingesting it with their food, sometimes leading to dire consequences. However, this can be somewhat alleviated if you are willing to feed your frog by hand. Careful also of overfeeding, an overweight frog is an unhealthy frog. Weekly feedings for adults are usually sufficient.

Thanks Scotty,

He's hand fed, and used to it, Mainly because he is on gravel.

We have had him 3 years now.

Seen him move once! lol
