White or Wrong

[Surrealasm]

Okay ya'll, so back to my initial querry,

I have been checking out some other species and all that, but for some reason I just really like the Whites tree frog. My girlfriend is just going to have to deal with it.

Now I'm planning my tank construction process and I've come upon another problematic subject...

It seems like White's are relatively messy... and that could be a problem because I'm very pro-live plants.
What is y'alls experience with White's tree frogs destroying your live plants?
Are there any types of plants that are hardier than others?
Finally, if live plants aren't going to work, what are some other tastefull decorative objects I should plan to utilize in my tank design?

I know that Don responded above with a few live plant suggestions, but I was wondering if anyone else had some good ideas/personal experience.

Don has a lot of experience with tree frogs. If you want live plants and a Whites Tree frog. I would go with the plants that Don mentioned. Drift wood is a good item to add for climbing. I do not own Whites or tree frogs, but many member of the forum do. Whites are large and heavy bodied. Those are the only live plants that are safe for amphibians that will be able to hold the frog and not die off from their brutal plant thrashing.

I will say I love whites. Our whites belong to my children, but I care for them because my children are 6, 5, 3 and 1. My kids love them and they hang out and they look in the tank to find them. We dont handle unless needed to feed or move them to clean the tank. I have on live plant, I think I am killing it. But the frogs love the plant. I put lots of plants up high but they are the large leafed fake plants. Read the care sheet and you will get great advice.

White's are definitely plant crushers. I agree with the plants Don suggested and drift wood is great in the tank! Black Jungle Terrarium Supply - The Natural Choice! has a bunch of great options for plants. I don't necessarily agree with all their suggestions for White's habitats, but it will give you an idea of what's out there and what you may or may not like.

So if this is the case, is it necessary to construct false bottom for their vivarium? I mean I know its not really necessary but is it just pointless?
