Tank Size Hi all, new to the forum and new to dart frogs. I have been doing some research as to their care and proper environment but I am having a little trouble with choosing a good tank size. Most likely I will be keeping D. auratus, probably a pair at first. Some people recommend a 10 gallon tank for them, but I also see that larger tanks are recommended. I currently have an empty 30 gallon tank on hand, but I am a little worried that it may be too big for just the pair.
What would you do in this situation?

it's always embarrassing when the cops show up and ask why your'e wading around in

Re: Tank Size My rule of thumb is this:
If the enclosure you use is smaller than South America then it isn't too big.
I have 4 little tiny R. amazonica in a 75 gallon enclosure. All 4 of these don't add up to the mass of 2 auratus.
Welcome to the forum and we are glad to have you.
Re: Tank Size I'd put them in the 30 gallon.
Re: Tank Size Welcome to the forum, I'd use the 30 gal.
Re: Tank Size I would reccomend the 30-gallon as auratus can be terratorial.

Re: Tank Size Thanks for the replies! It's settled then, I'm going to use the 30 gallon. This gives me more space to landscape anyways
Re: Tank Size You're welcome.

Re: Tank Size Glad to be of help. I'd love to see pictures of the set-up when you finish.
