my set up and frogs

[daydreaming]

this is a couple of pictures of my set up and also my little froggies.

[daydreaming]

today i have ordered a large piece of grape vine and a habitate branch which is basically a fake branch you can bend and mould into the positions you like i also got them a larger but still shallow water bowl and a nice fake orchid.

i was also wondering i picked up a really nice tall and wide bromeliad plant from my local supermarket. which i have found can go in as part of the decor of frog tanks what do i need to do to make this plant safe for them i dont know if they use pesticides or fertilisers being a supermarket im sure they do.

i also found a list of plants

few plants that are good for tropical terrariums and safe for frogs. These plants will need to be able to tolerate high light and humidity. A few good choices include African Violets, Bromeliad, Cobra Fern, Resurrection Fern, Chinese Evergreen, Elephant Ear, Earth Stars, Dumbcane, Creeping Fig, Poke-a-dot Plant, Bromeliad, Rabbit's Foot Fern, Prayer Plant, Button Fern, Baby rubber plant, Aluminum plants, Philodendron, Pothos, Silver Vine, Club Moss, Arrowhead Vine, Wandering Jew, Java Moss and Bromeliad.

would any one disagree with any of these plants

I am not a botanist, so I can't argue it one way or the other. I keep bromeliads, but I don't know what kind they are. I have kept Java moss in my fish tank. It totally took over the tank. I didn't know it can be raised on land.

i may just play the safe option and go with the plastic plants only problem is they are not that many nice plants that i have found on uk web sites they are all many vines and i already has 3

Yes Java moss can be kept on land, and it will totally take over there too lol. If you want moss, I suggest Riccia as it doesn't grow as tall as Java, and looks a lot nicer. Brian's Tropicals sells it:

I've NEVER heard of anything bad from them.



As far as other plants, I too am no botanist so I couldn't tell you one species over another. My FBTs are in a tank with 2 plants from Home Depot that I have NO idea what they are or where they're from lol.

I will say however that real beats plastic anyday in so many ways. The biggest is that they will soak up any feces (fertilizer!), or other "junk" from your tank. To put it this way, I only have to clean my FBT tank once a YEAR....and even this is probably a lot more than necessary lol.
