Keeping Pacmans on water.

In the past, I kept them the way, that, the OP has/is doing. I NEVER had any problems.

This is why I like the second video. Adults/Breeders would be more long term residents and should have at least their basic instinctual needs met, soaking and burrowing can be accomplished in the sterilite containers with coco fiber and water dishes.

Good to know about that the OP works I'd like to keep holdbacks and baby/juveniles that way temporarily.
I saw another post on keeping them in the sterilite drawers but separating them with pvc rings around each one as a way to house very small ones. I think it will work.

This is the set up I have now in what I hope will be the chameleon room later. I plan to build a large self system to keep tadpoles and froglets in small plastic tubs much like DIY snake racks.

Thoughts?

I completely agree with you.

I thought you are the OP (original poster) of the forum. I told you, I get confused easily . I do think the Youtube examples are acceptable for froglets and or juvenile frogs.

I know this is NOT how you mean it. But, all I can imagine is a PVC ring around each froglet and or juvenile frog. Which, we both know is how you mean it. So, would you mind rephrasing it for me? Thanks and sorry being slow and dense.

I think the picture on post 09-06-2018 @/at 12:28 PM, will work out just fine.

It was described just like that to me. It's supposed to be the new way instead of keeping them in deli cups they're put into the same drawer system but with 4" and 6" pvc rings around them so they can't eat each other. I'm still trying to figure out how that works and if it's truly as humane as they say it is. Still on the fence but it seems like a better alternative to deli cups.

Thanks! I drilled vent holes in all of them this weekend next I'm gonna sand down the holes, clean the bins and put in substrate!

I am normally the one who is confused, trust me.

Yay, I have to be right occasionally. Or, I would develop a complex .

Given my inappropriate grammar, spelling, and syntax, I am sure that I gave you that impression.

I see. Very very interesting, in my humble opinion.

I just can't imagine it. But, that is just me.

I agree. If you find any videos/Youtube clips, please, feel free to share. Since, I am very intrigued, to say the least.

You are very welcome. I can't wait to see the finished product with and without occupants.
