    Default Background climber

    Hi everyone. I'm from the UK and have a relatively new Red Eye tree frog set up. I want to get a climber plant to go on the back wall. I wondered if anyone knows of any plant species i can use. I was thinking of using Ivy but i don't know if this would be good to have with frogs.
    Hope someone can help me, cheers.

    Pothos work well or Creeping Fig.

    Oak leaf ficus is a favorite of mine. It will grow up the back of the tank, looking like a miniature version of English ivy.

    Yes like Royce said they are common, just make sure they are washed well and free of vermiculite.
