Hello everyone, I heard about this website from a person on another website and after browsing for 10 minutes, I registered. This is the first time I have set up a dart frog tank, but not the first time I set up a Paludarium or Vivarium. I currently have a 20 gallon tank with Firebellied toads in it that could very well look like a dart frog tank. Now I'm staring a 10 gallon tank for darts.
I already got the basics of how to make a nice dart frog themed tank as you can see by my FBT tank. I'm thinking creeping fig on the background, a bromeliad somewhere in there, a couple of Anubias growing emersed and a ground cover of riccia. I drilled a hole in a piece of malaysian driftwood and siliconed a tube to it that has a little pump on the end of it so the piece of wood will be a sort of water feature with gravel around it so the water can drain down through the eggcrate with window screen false bottom.
I already did a little bit of reading on blackjungle and decided to get wither 2 Dendrobates Azureus or 2 D. Auratus, but i'm leaning more for the Auratus. The only problem I see is I don't really know how to start a live food culture. Does anyone have any good links on how to start a flightless fruit fly culture?
Here's a picture of my Firebellied Toad tank next to the once empty 10 gallon dart tank:
I'm looking forward to being on this website learning from the experts.
