How do I cover the filter for my African Dwarf Frog?

[wavingthroughawindow]

Hello, this is my first time posting, so I'm sorry if I am not doing this correctly!

I am planning to get an African Dwarf Frog for my tank that I am currently cycling. I have read that the frogs can get sucked into filters, so it is important to cover up the filter. I have a tank with a divider between the filter and the rest of the tank, so I was wondering if I still needed to cover the filter? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome. Most filters have a screen cover, but you can put a stocking hose over it.

I cut a piece of fabric window screen and put it into the bottom of the part of filter inlet.

I also use various pieces cut-to-size to cover the top of the tank where I have gaps. I have ADFs and a Betta--this works great.
