Re: just to add to the list
Well I'm not terribly experienced with tincs or thumbnails, but I think I can shed a little bit of light on the subject for you.
Yes, It makes a difference if females can see each other through the glass. They won't be able to cause physical harm, but they will still stress each other out. Stress is a big killer of frogs. Whatever you use for your background, just use it on the sides too and that should solve the problem.
Thumbnails have varying difficulties due to a number of things. I only know a few basics, and I'm sure others will chime in to fill you in on the rest. Some thumbnails are more picky eaters than others. Some are classified as more difficult to care for due to the fragility of new born tads and froglets. And some are recommended for advanced hobbyists because they are all of the above plus more, and any number of things can cause them to become ill and/or die. Generally speaking, if you aim for a starter thumbnail that's easier to care for, you shouldn't have any problems. They are mostly treated the same as most other darts, just more delicately.
