I know that they werent exactly mating in those pictures the male was only clasped on to the female but im pretty sure it happened during the night.... Im just worried about the fact that my tank hasnt cycled yet! Is this a problem for future egg laying or future tadpoles?

Why would you even have frogs in an uncycled tank ? Tadpoles are going to have a problem with water parameters if there is any ammonia or other toxins, never mind the adults.

Well you might be right about the tadpoles but my adults have survived the absolute worst conditions and are still healthy...

I guess I am just very wary of exposing any critter to poor water. Frogs have such sensitive skin, even if not totally aquatic. They are vanishing in many wild areas because of pollution and chemical exposures.
