First vivariums

Here is Littlefrog_v1.1

My first attempt. 20G high. A LECA bottom, sphagnum moss over that. Tree fern background (hand cut from a bigger log). A lot of different kinds of orchids. Masdevallia floribunda (a few), a couple Masd. hybrids, Pleuothallis racemiflora, Meiracyllium trinasutum, a little bulbophyllum, a couple Restrepia brachypus, Lockhardtia oerstedii, a paph... And a Paphinia, too. Maybe some others. I have the name of the bromeliad somewhere, and there are some miscellaneous foliage plants in there. Just stuff I had laying about the greenhouse... Currently has 6 juvenile G&B auratus in it.

Littlefrog_v1.2 exploded. Great-Stuff accident. It was supposed to have a waterfall. Since I had frogs coming, I needed to whip out another one quick.

Littlefrog_v1.3

Basically the same thing, with fewer orchids. Also a 20G High (but an inch shorter than the other one... not sure why, but that is what i get for scavenging used tanks. The bromeliad is pretty cool ('Attick'? something like that). A couple different kinds of pepperomia, and a few rock ledges for effect. A clay pot with a notch cut out will be the 'love-hut'. Currently housing a pair of azureus.

Looking nice. I sure wish I could click on them for closer look though?

Live in Stockbridge (equally inconvenient access to both Lansing and Ann Arbor), but the frogs are in my office at MSU.

that comes by uploading a higher resolution picture. We will be able to "zoom" in on a picture much more that is 800x1200 than a picture that is 400x600. The website no matter what you upload scales it to fit our screens, but it gives the ablility to double click and see it in a larger scale.
