    Do you have a setup? What size? Can we get pics? Imitators come to mind.

    Spires,

    There are a couple good how to guides for setting up a dart tank in the vivarium section of the forum. If you haven't already I would go read those for some ideas on how to tackle some of the basic setups.

    The tank size is a bit on the small side. I wouldn't put more than 1 maybe 2 frogs in there. Once you factor in the false bottom/Drainage layer + soil the tank will be 15 - 14" tall and if you do any kind of a 3D custom background you will be looking at roughly 8 - 9" deep. If you did anything to the sides you would be shrinking it even further. You could probably keep a couple of thumbnail darts in a tank that size. Just somethings to keep in mind as you look into the frogs you want vs your enclosure.

    Oh and Welcome to the Forum!

    Not at all. Once setup properly they are indestructible. So long as you get a healthy frog.

    Hello and welcome to FF! My suggestion is to get an 18x18x24 ExoTerra and set it up with live plants and a trio of any R. imitator morph you like .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
