Frog Room

[vignolo]

Hi

It's been a while since the last time I posted pics of my vivs. I'm actually keeping frogs of a friends who's in vacations. So it looks like this at this moment.

The whole set-up


First rack (friend's rack)


Second Rack (mine)


Tads (15 alive when I took the pic; 5 alive the day after )


My 65gallons for M. Viridis (crappy pic by the way!!)


Friend's ~50 gallons for E. Trivittatus


Two small vivs for M. aurantiaca et M. baroni


So a lot of frogs to take for the summer
Here's the list:
2.2.3 M. Pulchra
0.0.3 M. Viridis
3.0.4 M. Expectata
0.0.1 M. Aurantiaca
3.1.3 M. Baroni

2.2 D. Leucomelas
2.1 D. Azureus
2.1 D. Tinctorius ''InferAlanis''
2.2 D. Auratus Blue
2.2 D. Auratus Ancon Hill

2.2 E. Trivittatus

Thanks for viewing!

Yes, very nice. Sorry to hear about your tads.

Has your friend ever bred the trivs in that tank? If so could you describe it a little.

Hi

I don't know exactly what happened. Someone proposed different temp between the water in the tank and the water in the cup. I'm not an expert with tads; my friends gave me his tanks and I had to compose with all the tads that were in. I used demineralised water, maybe it's not good?!.

Also, I had 5 auratus froglets and there's only one left white the 5 leucomelas tads are still in shape. I'm gonna try a brand new tank for the next froglets. I suppose there's a bacterium (is it the correct traduction?) in this one.

I'm not sure, but I think he hasn't. There's a little pond with sand for the bottom. There's and overflow from the pond to the false bottom, so tthis prevents from having 3 inches of water on all the bottom (about 1/4 inches). I can noticed that my friend kept the bottom cleaned (there's not a lot of plants) while the upper part of the viv is covered with broms.

I used to have mantellas, so anyone can help me findind a good care sheet or a good thread about E. Trivittatus?

Thanks

It has been very simple with Tropiflora. First, we didn't import any orchids or anything that would be on CITES. It's to expensive to get the permit for this. The only thing we needed, it's to be sure that Tropiflora get a phytosanitary certificate (certificat phytosanitaire in french). Also you must be sure not to import any WC plants, because you'll have to get a phytosanitary certificate for every country involved in it.

Don't bring any ''aracea'' with standard shipping because they will surely die fast.

Thanks

Aren't mantella aurantiaca more terrestrial? That looks like a 10 gallon vertical.
