LOL this is going to be a fun thread..

This is very vague.. as in this isnt specific to any type of frog.
From my understanding a lot of the frogs we keep in the hobby arent found near water. They lay in broms etc. That tends to come up in the "#23Hole" comments that are given out to these newbs. Do you ever notice that EVERY newb, and I mean EVERY newb wants to come on here and immediately add a water feature. Its like the first thing they think about, the actual frogs as a second thought. I will admit I was the same way. My venture into this hobby started as a paludarium. Unlike many other newbs, I researched what I could put in with such a water based tank. Realized there wasnt much. Ventured toward darts. Researched more, then dropped the whole water idea.

Not that I am for or against water features. Nor know that much about the hobby as well. I am just observant of what others put.I would totally put one in a large tank, but it isnt for a 10vert or anything smaller than a 18" thick tank in my opinion. I think it is more of the focus as the issue. Anyway..

If education is really your cause, then you should do a little more research. I have a feeling this thread will end up in the dome.

Will wait for someone with more knowledge of specific species to chime in.

You have the same amount of posts as me, and I agree with you and my first was a paludarium. Are you my lost bro?

I must say, my very first tank had a water feature that convered half the tank. I ripped that apart. My current tank has nothing like it, but I must say a large water feature is a waste but if you have suppose a drip wall and 1/2 in of gravel hidden it's not taking up any space, but it's still a water feature. I'm not to crazy about your tone, please think about what you're going to say and think about it BEFORE posting, alright? Starting a post and calling people assholes when you probably don't know that much about the hobby as them. What you've done is you're trying to just get people to get upset, while you think you're proving a point. Shame on you.

Alright, what's wrong with you? first you tell me to ''watch my tone'' then you say the majority of people im calling out know more about the hobby than me?
is it because i just joined the board? stop discriminating based on my forum time if that's what you're doing. i have plenty of experience with reptiles/amphibians.

hopefully all of you will calm down on the tone thing, i just become tired of people blatantly saying ''get rid of the drip wall/etc." if it looks good and doesn't take up too much room, i honestly don't care if the frogs use it or not, as long as they have ample space it's not a problem, it adds to the tank, don't you like creating beautiful things? if you think a water feature is pointless, maybe you should keep your frogs in a shoebox with some sphagnum moss, im not trying to be harsh, but really, practice what you preach before you go on ranting about someone else's tone, i hope you get whatever problem you have with me calling people who do this sort of thing assholes, but honestly you're being one.

So you have experience with reptiles and amphibians. Before I even knew what a dart frog was I had 6 years of keeping 3 kinds of geckos, reed frogs, pacman frogs, whites, red eyes, etc. but I knew nothing about darts, which is ENTIRELY different than any other branch of herp keeping.
