started my project

The PVC pipe i only made 1 inch tall so I did end up making it work and I have about 1.5 inches of soil...... is that enough for plants? If not I have an idea t get it to go higher. And josh does have a really nice tank and that does give me a better idea of what I can do.

what plants are you using? Small bromeliads would be best for them since they will hid and gather moisture from them.
Bromeliads don't need soil so they have be set into cork rounds or tied to a piece of wood or even stuck into a background. Then one small plant that has low growth would be fine in 1 1/2 inch of soil... something like creeping fig.

yeah I was planning on picking up a bromeliad and hopefully some moss if possible. One thing that I have not been able to find though is leaves..... what kind of leaves should I get and where do you think I could get them?

[DonLisk]

I use leaf liter from Black Jungle Terrarium Supply or Joshsfrogs.com. I like the Live Oak leaves for dart tanks since it retains moisture like little cups.
There are a few versions of bromeliads that stay small and you could actually get two or three of the small ones in there for the frogs to climb on and hid in.

Here re some small Broms I grabbed up at Black Jungle one day...

wow some great websites I never new about ( black jungle and joshs frogs), is it a good idea to order plants from them? do they come in in good condition and not harmed? also I saw they sold frogs, is it a good idea to browse there for a frog or is a local store better?

[DonLisk]

Depends on how much you trust the quality of frogs at a local store. Josh, Black Jungle, LLL Reptiles, and some of the breeders on this forum all have great reputations for delivering nice healthy frogs. check out the for sale section of the forum and look at the testimonials too.

As for plants, find what you want and then call and let them know how small you need or to ask questions before buying. I like to pick my plants to make sure they fit my need.
