I have had this vivarium set up for some time now and changed/added things over the last month or two. In hindsight there are some things that I would like to have done differently. However, Overall, I'm satisfied with the result.

Yesterday I went and picked up my first frogs, two juvenile dendrobate auratus.

You will see your auratus a LOT more if you give them a good thick layer of leaf litter instead of that moss.

I know, I know, get rid of the moss... I have been yelled at on numerous occasions already hahaha.

There is leaf litter around and underneath the background plants so I feel that they have plenty of room to hide and forage for insects if they so choose.

Seeing them just too see them isn't a great concern for me either. I know they are in there, and when sit down in front of the tank to mist or feed they seem to want to come out and make their presence known anyway.

The moss is a purely aesthetic choice, I will admit it, but until the animals show some ill side effects or I get bored with it, it is likely to stay.

And let me clarify... Its not that I don't appreciate the advice, but I have seen and read of alot of people using moss and I just feel that it doesn't hinder my personal goals in this case. I wanted to create a nice display tank, I'm not attempting to breed, keep multiple species, or set up any high tech systems here. So as long as this isn't going to create any health issues with the frogs themselves, I'm content with the setup as is.

Thanks for the comments though.
