What style of rocks would you normally find in dart frog habitats?

Round?
Chucky?
Ragged?

Some pictures?

I'm guessing hard

Im sure like everywhere else the terrain has some variability, the rocks in peru aren't going to be exactly like the ones in costa rica.

just generalizing.... I'd think you would see primarily sedimentary rocks, most likely rounded or slate-esque due to the large amounts of water present

Rocks are rocks, I'm sure they aren't sandy like dessert rocks. You aren't going to get a concrete rock hard answer for that question lol.

Most of the pictures that I have seen are near streams, so the rock are all smoothed out from the water running over them. I have used all types in tanks and the frogs dont seem to care (sandstone, slate, river rocks, etc).

How do you make fake rocks, exactly? I've been wondering that for a while now, and I thought I would like to try it in a viv one of these days, so I'm thinking it would help if I new how.

If you do a quick search you will find several ways. Some people use epoxy, some people just use hydraulic cement and foam and then paint it.

I always get rocks at the landscape supply place. In fact the first time I went there I was setting up a fish tank. I walked up to the counter and told the guy I needed 25 rocks, he said "25 tons?" I said "No just 25 individual rocks" Help yourself, was his reply.

I have long though about making a little wood frame and then placing some rocks in there making sure they fit nicely. Then I would do a fiberglass mold of them. I would think I could peel off the fiberglass when it was cured and paint it to the color I wanted. You would have the look of the rocks. I don't know if that method is even possible but it's an idea.

If you are going to make a mold of rocks, it's best to do it with a silicone mold rubber and then cast into it your cast agent. Be it cement, foam, grout, epoxy, urethane, whatever. Thats how I make mine:
