Have any of you, in starting your first viv, stressed yourself out trying to get everything constructed and plants in wanting to get your frogs ASAP, but then once the plants were in decided to wait....a while?
In building mine i was stressing out, wanted to get all the hardscape in, ordered some plants and thought " hey ill get frogs in a month tops!" and then once its planted you end up being obsessed with getting the plants to grow in, seeding the tank, etc. I find myself almost not caring about the frogs anymore (dont get me wrong i definitely will still be getting them), but the stress is gone, and my interests have shifted towards the 'living ecosystem' aspect of vivariums.
Just thought id share and see if this mindset has developed in any of you.
