    Default Dendrobates Auratus

    So i have decided to start raising money for a colony of Dendrobates Auratus, and i already have a 29 gallon aquarium. i was wondering if that is a good size, and i have a whole enclosure planned out i just need to start bulding it. if i put 4 of them in a 29, is that sufficient? should there be more or less of them in there?

    My understanding is there should be more males than females in the enclosure. As how many can live in there comfortably, I would say at least 3, maybe more, but then again I am no expert on this species.

    okay so ill put 4 or 5 in there, but its going to be a vivarium. so how would i be able to clean it? should i just pick up the waste and change out the food dish daily, and then just clean it out every 6 months? i read that on a website but i just wanted to make sure that was okay to do.

    If you build a proper vivarium you will not have to clean it at all except to keep the glass clean. I change out the moss sometimes because it gets a little sour but that's about it. I would not put more than 4 in a 29g to start with because you will most likely get unsexed froglets. See what you end up with and then buy a couple more of what you need. Do your homework and make sure you have temp and humidity under control before you buy frogs. I always let my dart setups age for at least a month after everything is working properly and within tolerances. You don't want to be adjusting things with new frogs in there.

    Sure thing. i have it all planned out with a fogger and everything. I always let my tank cycle for at least a 2 weeks before buying any type of frog.

    Sounds like you have a good plan. If you need any help just ask.
