Hi Amber,
I think the 5 gallon is ok for the quarantine. The little 2.5 gallon I'm using has a thumbnail species in it.

Remember .... you will have to get a secure top all so .... of which will need to covered somehow ( with plastic, plexi, or glass to keep the humidity up)
It will never go to waste. As you will be needing more darts

Quarantine is great for new dart frog owners as well. It is a great time to learn how the frogs behave, you will really get to know them!

I hope the links above helped! Josh' has good Prices. His bags of ABG mix ( link above) are a decent price; low enough so you're not tempted to want to mix it yourself.

Also, I wanted to mention- the need to get set up with the fruit fly culturing supplies. You might even practice making a culture; especially if purchasing 'local' pre-made cultures are out of the question. Buying them pre made on-line are expensive because of the shipping.

Wondering? If you are getting tincs, have you considered getting 'a pair'.

Auratus or leucomelas will do well in groups w/ its own species. I believe the leucs are easier to care for than the auratus. Just a thought. The leucs are very bold.

Enjoy!
