    I know nothing about Dart frogs, but googling "dart frog habitat" then looking at the images, sure gives a lot of ideas. I'd assume from them that dart frogs prefer mostly land area. I have a few fire belly toads. They like a viv that's slightly more water than land. This user just posted a setup that he did for fire belly toads (FBT's) and I really like the simplistic modern styling of it....... http://www.frogforum.net/showthread.php?t=34637

    I like your background. Pellonia repens or Pellonia pulchra woudl give you a good vine. You could mount orchids and even some ferns to use some of your vertical space (where the drip water doesn't go.) Creeping jenny likes highly saturated areas . I love any and all types of ferns. My little auratus particularly loves the begonias, he goes in and out and over them. Make sure you have some kind of hide area for your frog. I use a cocohut. I would look into getting a dart that really uses vertical space.

    Also, your wild collected moss will probably die off on the drip wall, something like java moss will work much better. You can find that at most fish stores.

    I would say look at getting 2 - 3 thumbnail frogs for the 10g vertical. The plants Amy suggested will work great. You can also mount a couple small Bromiliads to the back wall away from the drip wall side.

    Most dart frogs have little use for a water feature, but things like dripwalls are great for keeping the humidity in the tank up.

    Looking good so far!
