I have 10 CFB morphs. They live on wet paper towels right now. They are about and inch 1/2. When should i start introducing them back into the water?
 
How old are they? What I did with mine was introduced a very shallow amount of water(less than 1 mm) into the enclosure which had a wad of java moss as a land area. If the morphs begin spending more time on the wet sections then you cold raise the water level to about 2mm. The one that wanted land was then content to stay on the java moss.

My morph survival has been subpar but thats due to the particular container and the gimmicks it has involving the lid

Edit: Saw your post in the N&S help section. IMHO they are still too young. The aquatic morph I've got was offered a chance at water at around 6 months(and took it) but the other shows no interest. Some people keep them on land for a year or so before trying. I don't think giving them water at that age is a good idea as I lost one to drowning from trying at around 2 months. However I didn't use the above mentioned approach.

two of them died in the past week....not sure, one was an infection i think, he lost his feet because of fighting i guess. They all made it to morphing....i hope i dont lose any others, they are getting so big!
