Epipedobates hahneli tank?

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for making a tank for Epipedobates hahneli? I was thinking that leaf litter would be great, and then some perchs for the males to call from... but not sure what else?
Like if they would use/prefer bromeliads or should I just use film canisters? If I use the canisters, what angles and placement has worked best for people? Do they prefer a more planted tank so they feel more secure (making them more bold), and will they hide if it isn't planted heavily? I have some ideas, but was looking for any good info from anyone else that has breed/worked with this species.

Also, I have heard they have a couple different calls (terretorial & courting for example). Does anyone know if any of these calls can be found online?

Thanks guys. I was hoping you 2 would say something. Is the "Click, click, click" the mating call? Also is it a fast tempo (like leucs, tricolors, etc) or are they spaced out a little more? One of mine is calling, but it isn't very loud. It sounds more like peeps then clicks... but that could just be me :D lol. It reminds me of the same sound a tricolor makes, but just individual peeps instead of the rolling peeps (trilling) of a tricolor.

Scott, does your tank have a water feature (moving/still)? Also, congrats on the new eggs Scott. Very cool. How big was the clutch? I have heard that they can lay large clutches, like a lot of the other Epipedobates.

Justin, so you basically used the inverted fish food containers like smaller coco huts... right? What did you put underneath them to lay on?
