my AMF are getting shipped in this thursday morning with over night shipping and im verry excited. i am just going to say a few things about them and you guys need to tell me if you think im on the right track.
im keeping the 2 in a 10g as they grow up so they can learn to hun than i will be moving them to a bigger tank when they grow up.
i will be keeping their temp to the same as my red eyed tree frogs and whites tree frogs which is 75-85 whith a slight drop at night.
i will be keeping their humidity up to 70 and above.
Humidity is too high, room humidity is fine for these guys, lightly mist at night after the lights go out, for a tank that small 3 mists is more than enough. I don't even mist my guys. AMF babies can be very fragile and die easily so you have to be careful. I have had mine for 4 years from about 1 month out of water. Also high UV for them a 13w 5% bulb and then a 26 w 10% for when they are bigger. Also they do like a basking spot of around 90f when they get older
they don't need uvb
I didn't have a bulb in mine to begin with based on some stuff saying they didnt need one but I found they do better with a bulb so I'm sticking with one! And they enjoy basking as well.
How do u know? Why even ask advice if you just think you already know everything lol. They bask out in the open in the wild and are exposed to UVB so for their captive enclosure it helps create a more natural environment. Not much research has been done for UVB exposure to amphibians but it's thought that it may benefit from it so if it's a possibility it does benefit from it why not give them the option.
