Stocking 90 gallon viv advice!!

[Nhughes28]

Almost finished with 90 gallon drilled viv with 30 gallon sump it's 48Lx18Wx24T has waterfall stream and pond. Was wondering what. Would be good idea for live stock? I only have a few small 10 and 20's with a few frogs. So was curious for suggestions for a nice 90 gallon.

If I were you I would go for a larger species so you can see them and have it as a display viv. Your setup sounds great, can you upload any pictures?
Species you put in are completely up to you; any dendrobate tinc. Species would be a good choice as they are bold and active. Another option could be a phyllobates species as these are also bold.
It depends on how much you want to see the frogs really, smaller species such as ranitomeya are very beautiful but may be hard to spot in the viv.
The choice is yours! I wish you look with it all.

I agree with Coogan.
P terribilis are very bold. Wonderful species . The orange are magnificent ! They do, indeed need space!

Also, think about D leucomelas. A VERY reasonable buy too! The will climb a little ( they think they are good at it ) but they are clumsy.
The are curious, will even dig a little. ---- so you will want to be sure all ares leading to pipes, backgrounds etc are secure. Pack the soil in real tight.
They are bold as well, busy, entertaining !, a few morphs to pick from, breed easily , like terribilis >can be kept in a group.

D tictourous will happier kept in sexed pairs. If you should get a trio--- simply provide plenty of cover and keep a eye out for any aggression or stress from a more dominant tank mate as they mature.

The best buy , by far is the standard D leucomelas.

Dendrobates leucomelas 'Banded' - Dendrobates leucomelas | Josh's Frogs these are beautiful


D Auratus can be kept in groups---- however they tend to be SHY---- mine are anyway !

Lynn Has given you some great options. Tincs are great in groups until they hit sexual maturity then you need to put them in pairs to keep the aggression down. You can go 1 female and 2 males in the group, but will need to watch and make sure one male isn't constantly being bullied. However up until sexual maturity you could house a decent group in there as long as you separated them all around the 1 year mark.

There are great group frogs such as the Auratus, but they do tend to be on the shy side. Again Lynn has you covered I don't think I can offer any advice more than what she has already given you.

We would love to see some pics of the tank though!
