Default Best frogs for small setup

Hi, I new to this forum. I recently decided that I'd like to keep some dart frogs, I've been keeping tropical fish for a long time and have a spare tank that I think I could use for a dart frog setup.

The tank in question is around 12 gallon the dimentions are 18"Lx12"Dx15"H I've been reading as many of posts as I can off this forum, I have come up with a list of my favorite frogs non of which seem to be classed and difficult/advanced species. Which of them would you recommed for the tank?, listed in order of preference, -

1, Allobates zaparo
2, Phyllobates lugubris
3, Allobates femoralis
4, Dendrobates ventrimaculatus
5, Hyloxalus azureiventris
6, Phyllobates vittatus
7, Phyllobates aurotaenia

I know its quite a list but I live in England and there don't seen to be loads of stores/breeders over here compaired to the US.

Steven.

Default Re: Best frogs for small setup

Hopefully lots of people give you advice so you can take it with a grain of salt. With the dimensions of your tank I think you could keep both arboreal or terrestrial favoring species. I imagine you could keep a pair or trio of any of these frogs in that tank. The only species on your list I have are the vents so I can't speak much of personal experience, but I do have a trio in a 10g vert and they are breeding. If I wanted to whittle that list down a little bit I would see what I could get locally. I am partial to the azureiventris and want to add them to my group soon.
