    The tank looks suitable for a pair of azureus. Leucomelas too if you add some stuff to climb on

    It's a very beautifully crafted tank . . . except for one thing: Leaf litter!!! It's probably one of the most often forgotten things with dart frogs. They need a nice thick layer of leaf litter to feel more secure and have more hiding places. I would recommend live oak for a tank that size. It'll make your frogs happy !!

    Toss it in on top of everything, then just brush the leaf litter off any plants. I would cover some of the live moss, as it looks better and the moss does take up a lot of the tank, and if you didn't put any leaf litter on top of it, there still really wouldn't be enough.

    Excellent. Nothing quite like suggesting something that has already been done lol.

    Can't wait to see how it looks after the leaf litter is added. I love how fresh leaf litter looks. Shame it has to get all wet lol.
