Hello everyone! I'm starting up a new terrarium which will house 2 Green Pacific Tree Frogs and 1 or 2 Poison Dart Frogs. I have both of the Green Pacific Tree Frogs, one is full grown and one is still a tadpole who has 2 legs already. Right now, the Green Pacific Tree Frogs are in a small 2 gallon holding tank while I'm setting the 10 gallon terrarium. Its going to take me a day or two more to finish up the 10 gallon terrarium. I don't have any pictures of the terrarium because my camera broke and I shipped it to the company who is going to fix up the camera and send it back. Here is a picture of the Green Pacific Tree Frog.(I got the picture from the internet, the Green Pacific Tree Frog that I have right now looks 100% the same)

Are you keeping the pacific tree frogs and the darts together?

I don't mean to come off mean, but ten gallons is way to small for 4 frogs, let alone a multi species tank. I would encourage you to read-up on mixed species tanks. Ten gallons is seldom good for more than two frogs (maybe some thumbs).

Ok, then I guess there's only going to be 2 Green Pacific Tree Frogs.

Well, I got quite alot done. Put in a stream, rocks for drainage, a screen to divide the rocks and coco fiber, glued the pump wire to the back of the tank, cut/made a acrylic top with handle, mixed the cocofiber with some sand, orchid bark, and oak leaves, and I think that's it. I'll get pictures of the tank when the camera comes back.

Well, I got TONS more done. I added the coco fiber mix, the stream, lots of brom plants, another kind of plant, lots of rolly pollies, earwigs(pincherbugs), added a light for the plants, and last but not least, I added the tree frog. He/she LOVES the terrarium! I'm going to add some java moss tomorrow and a few other plants. Will have pictures soon.
