cocohut and petri dish (i use deli cup lids) you dont need the film cannisters. thats a pretty big viv. You don't need al the height but it will defiantly open up some planting options. You don't need to get crazy with waterfalls and foggers. You'll end up spending more time and effort on them and after 6 months you'll be telling yourself "should have listened to that guy on dendrobaord". But most new people feel the need and do it anyhow. I know I did and I think you'll find many veteran breeders here that will agree. If you want a breeding group focus on the things that will make the frogs happy. Leaf litter, hiding places, breeding places (with that tank I would set up 3-4 coco huts using the space i.e. high places low places they like choices).
Good luck

For me when I was breeding mine it seemed pretty simple. Just make sure they have a lot of cover, put the coco-huts where there is easy access for you. Because since you are new you are definitely gonna be checking it a lot ( I know I did) that way you wont have to disturb them too much. Mist them quite often, I did mine about 5 -7 times a day ( which some would probably say is overkill lol) and feed them everyday.
well thx guys for the help water fall is in already unfortunely but it will have to do i will be planting the hell out of this tank and have plenty of hiding spots for them i went with the tall tank to show case the new exo terra cage for my shop I am located in Auburn CA. I just got a giant plant order and I am gonna be planting like crazy next couple of days. and Glueing my telensia in as well so yeah all on all so far very good exspirence i am gonna me starting to get fruit fly clutures soon so i can know the ropes of that before i start even think about getting frogs. I did a hydro ton bottom instead of false bottom hope it works alright. i will probly be posting videos of the process off of my phone cause i think it is cool to show what you can do with a lil time and alot of frustration and energy lmao. Any tiups with the fruit flies?
As far as finding a pair, I'd try contacting Patrick Nabors at Saurian Enterprises, Inc He really knows his stuff and is good at sexing the frogs. I bought a "proven pair" from someone in the fall, and I'm pretty sure they are 2 females. I contacted Patrick this April, he found a male for me, and now I have breeding. He has lots of stuff that isn't always listed on the website, so you can email him and see.I am gonna breed luecs i am in the process of making my vivarium i am a part owner of a reptile shop and always like the dart frogs but since this is my first tank i am trying to go crazy with it.
