fairly close to the Fredericksburg area. These guys come out at night every time it rains. They got super loud chirping calls but I don’t mind them they’re cute.

Are they grey tree frogs?

Context:
Hi, around 2-3 years ago a lady gave us an overstocked goldfish tank (I estimate between 50-75 gallons) containing 4 common goldfish who’s been alive for a couple of years. They’ve been ok for a bit, but since a couple months ago since my mom got a new job she we haven’t been able to water change as much so the quality got very poor until I came back from university to be their primary caretaker again.

Potential problem:
Today I was looking at the biggest (and oldest) of the bunch, and noticed that he has had a new habit of swimming towards the bubbler, pausing briefly and allowing itself to float upwards before moving again. Anyone know if this might be a problem?

I know already, that they aren’t in the best of living spaces, I’ve been thinking about giving maybe 2-3 away, but as of right now I’m doing what I can for them.

(Fish in temporary enclosure currently for water change)

Hello, a couple of months ago a lady screwed my family over by giving us a 100 gallon tank with 4 common goldfishes, and nitrate management has been a nightmare with these guys.

Im thinking of converting it into live tank with some hardy plants like anubias and java. As well as cultivating some duckweed in a separate tank to add continuously.

Would this be recommended? I am planning to make a 300~ dollar investment in soil and substrate for the plans currently.
