New Planted Terrarium Setup

[dmallia]

So after getting my first american green tree frog and watching some nice planted terrarium photos, I am going to build my first planted vivarium. I am also considering in getting a pair of bumble bee arrow frogs too, since I read they are very good for beginners . As regarding to vivarium size, I am still undecided. I may get a 90cmx45cmx45cm or with a 60cm height. As I am new to planted vivs, I would like some information of what you need to keep the plants healthy and what apparatus I need(like uvb lights etc.) A list of plants that are for beginners and that are safe for the bumble bee dart frogs would be great. If anyone knows a plant shop that is preferably in europe and that ships to europe, please post it.

Thanks before hand.

i can help with the plant end of it tonight when i can be in front of a real keyboard. but out of curiosity, are you planning on keeping both species together?

no of course not. The new terrarium will be for the dart frogs only.

i didn't think so, but had to ask. it does make a difference for some plants. the greens are temperate to sub tropical and the leucs are tropical. some plants would work one way but not the other, if that makes any sense.....lol
