    Strange question. Why not ABF? Why not ACF? Why not hamster? Because he want's dart frogs, that's why. Tree frogs are not similar in any way, really.

    Also, PDF are not poisonuss in captivity. They get their poison from the insects they eat in the wild, so unless feeding with some rare specific dangerous ant, they are completely harmless.

    That tank is a nice find.

    Tough choice with such a big tank and you might find your going to want a nice size group of them. Leucs are definitely the easiest.
    Since everyone has blue frogs, I would be hopping on the Mantella bandwagon.

    I don't think they would be the boldest like Leucs but should be a ton of fun to watch in a group.

    I was sure pleased with it. I guess dart frogs don't come cheap, eh? For three leucs or milos (same price as leucs), with shipping I'm looking at over 350$... So now I can't find Tomato frogs and can't afford darts... lol
