    Really coming together nicely. Can't wait to see it finished.

    Wanted to note on selection of plants.
    When you select plants you want to check them against a safe plant list since some plants have leaves that contain poisons which will transfer to the frog as they sit on the leave. Some plants contain sap in the stems of the leaves and that sap can be poisonous to the frogs so just keep an eye on the plants you select. Umbrella plants are one people seem to favor for tanks and it very bad for the frogs.
    1.0.0 Red Eyed Leaf/ Frog - Agalychnis callidryas
    1.1.1 Bumblebee Dart Frog - Dendrobates leucomelas
    1.1.0 Dendrobates truncatus - Yellow Striped
    1.1.1 Dendrobates tinctorius – Bakhuis Mountain
    1.1.0 - Dendrobates tinctorius - Powder Blue
    1.1.0 - Ranitomeya vanzolinii

    Thanks, I was under the impression that the Schefflera arboricola
    {umbrella plant} was only toxic if ingested. I was not aware that it would transfer it's toxins in other forms. I guess I will stick to Pothos.

    I am a bit confused as to the toxic rating on the plant as on another forum for Chameleons it is listed as safe.
