    I have some broms sitting around here. Also film cans and petri dishes. What water should I use. I have a RO/DI system so can supply either just RO water or the full RO/DI stuff.
    1.2.0 Dendrobates tinctorius 'Azureus'
    1.1.0 Dendrobates Lamasi 'Orange'
    1.1.0 Dendrobates Ventrimaculatus 'Understory Line'
    0.3.0 Dendrobates leucomelas

    As always your mileage may vary!
    I may or may not know what I'm talking about!

    I'd say distilled water. As far as I understand it...in nature the water in the rainforest landing in the broms is clean and pure. So those frogs that would deposit their tads at higher levels like that you would use the purest water you can get. Those frogs that would normally deposit their tads in small pools on the forest floor then you would use an almond tea or black water extract. So we are basically trying to raise them in a similar manner like they would be in nature. And yes I know that there are no film canisters in nature but anything that will give them that small cup feel. Let us know how it goes.
