    Default Hey, new to the site!

    Hows it going? I just joined the site.

    I just got started in the hobby and have a 20gal with live plants and two Dendrobates leucomelas.
    I came from the "aquascaping" world, so I tried to do something similar with terrestrial plants.

    What do you guys think? I had the fogger on when I took these to give some atmosphere.

    Default Hey, new to the site!

    Hello! Welcome to the frog forum !

    Good choice the leucs!

    The tank looks very nice!

    Have your frogs been quarantined?

    This is necessary to confirm the health of your frog.

    It doesn't have to be big, a 10 gallon would be fine, its just for a month

    It should include:
    -paper towels as substrate. (Damp and unprinted
    -a place to hide
    -a few things to climb on
    -a VERY shallow water dish.
    -remember to maintain temps of 70-77 during the day and a small drop at night and 80-100 percent humidity.

    When your frogs return to their new enclosure they should have more things to climb on.

    Use as much of that space as possible!

    Good luck !

    Hey,
    Thanks!

    I've quarantined the two frogs for about 3 weeks. I just put them into the 20gal this afternoon. Thanks for the info though.
    I might add another small bonsai tree at the left end to give them something to climb. Does this species climb alot? Some sites say the do, others say not so much.

    They do love to climb. Two of mine sleep on the mister heads at the top

    Excellent tank! Yes Leucs love to climb. They actually prefer something that is more around 24" heights, but if you added some branches to reach across the top of the tank or a few vines than they would be in heaven. Flybyferns (a Mod) has a post about a moss vine. Or you could simply get a fake vine, or make one or whatever lol.

    Oh and I love foggers in tanks. The atmosphere they create is awesome!

    Thanks!
    That's a great idea, actually, I have a just-trimmed bonsai tree on the right end of the tank. I was hoping to grow its branches across the middle to create an upper canopy above the "forest floor" and fog.

    Welcome!
    It's lovely !

    Can you create a post on the Viv or plant section
    Could you possibly list the moss species you used and the name of the pink flower wildflower?
    How long has the flower been in the enclosure.....?

    It looks to be a layered bottom ....not a false bottom ?

    Thanks for sharing , Lynn
