Hello everyone! I have been doing some reading about putting a water feature in a vivarium, and it seems as though there are a million different ways to put one in. I am looking for something that is like clay, that I can mold into a background. From what I understand you make a false bottom out of eggcrate and put the substrate on top of it. Would this not make the water murky going through the soil? I have been lurking on Josh's Frogs reading up on exactly how I would like to set it up. I am either going to retrofit a 10 gallon I have or possibly go a little larger. If you have specific pages I should read please provide them. I am planning on going with Dendrobates Auratus. Thanks everyone
Hello and welcome to FF! You can mold a background out of pond expandable foam and cover it once shaped and dry. For cover Titebond 3 (waterproof) with sprinkled substrate works well.
The water feature does not go through the soil. You use a clay ball layer high enough to keep substrate above the "water table." A 10 gal. is quite small and will be challenging to include a water feature with filter/pump, etc. Good luck !
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
