Anyone? I was poking around Josh's Frogs and looking at thumbnail darts. It seems like a pair would work.

Anyone? I was poking around Josh's Frogs and looking at thumbnail darts. It seems like a pair would work.
Hi all! I'm considering getting into frogs again (had a group of bumble bee toads a few years ago, but that tank is long gone).
I have set up a terrarium with decently high humidity for some...
Thanks Bill. I will probably mostly do epiphytes on it, but in the lower reaches, where plant roots will be in the water, I may try something with a little higher nutrient requirement.
Hi all! Long time, no post. But I am wondering if you guys can offer some advice on something.
I have some leftover Poret foam, which is a rigid open cell foam, from an old aquarium build. ...
Yeah, I had a few that got too wet and turned to mush. They just did not want to stay mounted where I wanted them, they had to self-murder in the soil. Bratty plants LOL. The remaining ones are...
It's not duckweed, it's azolla caroliniana that got huge, but yes, it's in water over the gravel. I have more tillies in there than you can see in the pictures. Most aren't doing as well as I'd...
Time for an update on my only tank! My bumble bee toad tank :)
After I took these shots, I removed some dead moss clumps (no idea how moss can even die :/ ) and raised the water level, also added...
Oh I should also note, I seeded the tank with springtails as well. But unfortunately this was at the same time as I added the toads, so I have no idea how many survived. My culture is still going...
They aren't baby babies... at least not according to the size charts. Supposedly males will get to be about 3/4" long, mine are almost that. They are sold as well-started juvies at Josh's Frogs...
Anyone?? :(
Hi all!
I've had my little bumble bee toadlets going strong for a bit now. Everyone is doing well thus far and they really like all the moss hides in their tank now. I asked this question before...
Because they are so incredibly adorable, here are some pictures of my bumble bee toads, and their viv which is finally 100% complete (my moss arrived - yay!). I have (I think) two young males and...
Well, the philodendron was starting to get a bit melty on the wood. I went ahead and planted it in the soil next to the root. Hopefully it does better there.
Humidity seems to have stabilized...
Okay, pictures!
I added the begonia, ferns, and philodendron sp. Got a nice shot of the philodendron. Curious to see how it does growing on the wood like that. If it starts to fail, I'll move...
Woot update! Isos are in. I wasn't able to get springtails (don't know what that's about) but will probably just order them with the toads. I need some other stuff from Josh's Frogs anyway.
I...
Not all termites eat wood ;) At least according to my dad, who used to exterminate them for a living haha.
I will be sure to post pictures! I soaked the soil yesterday so I'm waiting for the...
Haha don't worry Bill, if I was to get a termite "culture" I'd just introduce them directly to the tank. Don't think I'd actually try to raise them. Doubt if I actually could lol. Okay, so where...
That's odd, I had heard they were a good natural source of calcium for amphibians. :/ I will have to look into that more before I feed them lol. What is a bean beetle?
Are there any very small land snails that won't eat my plants? Obviously that would be a bad thing lol. If not, no biggie, I have isos as a cleanup crew, just thought a single small snail would...
Hi all! I'm in the process of setting up my viv (again after a drainage layer failure). I had a few questions. I'm going to have to reorder my springtail and iso cultures - springs didn't make it...
Yeah, I learned the hard way that Isos drown LOL.
I had only just seeded the tank, nothing lives in it yet. I suspect the springtails arrived DOA because of heat, so I wasn't feeding them, I...
Hi All!
So, I stupidly messed up and when rearranging some plants in my viv, got a ton of dirt into the drainage layer. It's officially time to rebuild! So, I'm wondering, how do I go about...
That's a good idea, Amy :) I wouldn't have been so unnerved by it, but it's so unusual for SoCal and it lasted an entire week. Yikes lol! I actually now have an AC and Heater, both of which dry...
What do you mean? The water section is just a bathing pool, no waterfall or anything fancy. Just a place for them to get wet. The tank is very low-tech, nothing electrical attached to it except...
Thanks Paul :) I don't know if you replied on my other thread (I think you did) but those toads didn't make it. Consensus is a humidity issue in their QT.
My well water has a pH literally off...
