Re: First Timer
Epipedobates antonyi is also a possibility. Very active, very loud and also a good beginner frog. Can be kept in groups also.
Or maybe Phyllobates bicolor, big frog and very bold. Also good in groups and they eat almost everything.
And, last but not least: leucomelas!
Auratus are known to be a bit shyer than the other ones that were mentioned.
Hygrometer (humidity checker) can come in handy, but only if it's a quality one. I've had bad experience with those cheap ass things, they were about 30 percent off compared to the actual humidity. You can also just check how damp the plants are, and estimate the humidity that way, but it's nice to have some certainty especially in the beginning.
Lighting is also very important to sustain good growing plants in your viv. It also helps to get a higher temp. I'm not an expert on technique, it's better to look in to the Care Sheet section for this!
