    Guys I need help or at least a piece of advice. Yesterday I picked up my new vivarium for dart frogs and after setting it up I noticed some mold on the wooden pieces. I know it’s not healthy both for the frogs and me (since I’m allergic to mold). There’s no way I could possibly take out the...

    I bought my first Melanogaster culture for $12 from Pet Expo a few months ago. Soon I made a new one, and that was when the trouble started. Mold started growing on my oat-and-banana culture, but the mold didn't start until the second week. After about a month, I made another new one and tossed...

    This just spouted up recently, looks like it might be some kind of mold or mushroom? I’ve tried scooping it out but it’s grown back. The springtails and isopods seem to be eating it.
  4. General Health & Disease Treatment
    Has anyone seen this kind of mold/fungus/?? before? It pretty quickly spread in my fairly new old paludarium (under 6 months) with my Nyctixalus pictus. It’s taking down some plants which sucks but what I’m most worried about is whether it’s bad for the frogs and if I should remove them while I...

    Around two months ago I setup a vivarium for three dart frogs that were tadpoles and now they’re in a grow out bin waiting to go into my tank. But there’s lots of mold that doesn’t seem to go away! I was going to move them in tomorrow but I keep seeing people either saying it’s fine it’s not...

    I have a lot of very unpleasant smelling green mold in a week and a half old fruit fly culture. Should I be worried? I buy all of my cultures premade. It is truly disgusting (it smells identical to the inside of a porta john).

    Hey All. Sorry if this has been asked a lot. I searched and found almost all threads about mold where about white fuzzy mold. I have a spotty black mold on the underside of my ghostwood that is attached on the background. There are no animals in the enclosure yet. I reduced misting frequency...

    I have looked through many threads about mold or fungus appearing in tanks, maybe I missed something. My situation is this, I've had some sort of fungus since the beginning of my plant-only vivarium. most of the time it wouldn't bother me and I was fine with it but now I need help. I have...

    Hi everyone, I have a problem with mold in my cultures especially with Hydei fruitflies. So far I always threw away cultures that showed signs of mold but after reading some older posts in this forum apparently mold isn't an issue for the frogs but might outcompete my flies. Is this still true...

    Hello guys, I have recently found these white spots popping on a piece of wood attached to the background of my brazilian rainbow boa vivarium. Does anybody has any idea of what it is? My guess is that's either a type of mold or mycelium but I'm not sure. I attached pictures below

    Hi Planning out my second viv at the moment, for 3 Mint Terribilis, and wanted to include a water feature. Now, I've heard that water features tend to mold pretty easily from a few people, but wanted to ask here specifically since it's a board for darts. I was planning on a pretty small section...

    My tank isn’t even set up yet. I was just cleaning this cork bark round so it would be ready to use. I rinsed and scrubbed it clean with hot water, then put it in the oven at 245 degrees for 30 minutes(maybe part of it wasn’t completely dry?) Then I siliconed (aquarium safe) a small piece of...

    Hi guys, I recently built this terrarium and let it cycle. However, I wasn't completely happy with it, because the frogs would not have hiding spots, so I added wood. Currently it is like this: Soon after, lights stopped working so for this past three days I have used a normal reading lamp...

    Hi everyone, I just got my vivarium going about one week ago. Plants are in and I have springtails and dwarf white isopod cultures in there too. Humidity has been 85-99% with temps 73-81 F. I noticed green/white mold starting to pop up yesterday on my cork throughout the tank. I have a picture...

    I have some sort of mold growing on the side of piece of driftwood that is fomed higher in the background where springtails can't really get too. It's only on a certain piece of wood, the other pieces (same humidity, temperature right next to it) do no. I've searched the forum first to see if...

    Well, I finally have some time off to start putting together my vivarium. I have gone back and forth regarding live vivarium vs ...fake/sterile - so I have supplies for both. My BIG concern regarding living vivaria is mold/bacteria, etc at the very bottom of the vivarium - if the springtails...

    So for some reason I am unable to post in any of the forums (Probably because I just made my account). I have noticed a black fungus growing over the past couple weeks. I got really busy and forgot to clean it out. It grew all over the terrarium and I pulled as much of it out that I could get...
