    I was wondering about that, do you not moisten the soil often so the roots don't rot?

    Nope. It gets watered like everything else in the tank. That spot, as well as my ABG, drains very well.

    Just make sure it drains well and you should have no problems with most ferns. I keep about 5 or 6 N. Exalta cultivars, and that one is the most sensitive. It doesn't like being wet and likes a lot of air circulation. I have killed that cultivar in several tanks until I was successful with this one.

    Look forward to seeing the pics! I'm gonna love the frogs too! You are going to put vittatus in there correct? There is a high chance that I will be ordering some bicolors this week which I believe the care is very similar Can't wait to see the tank pics!

    I love the water section, could you get a close up pic of it? Also, is there anything you added to the water to make it that color, or is that just the color from the debris in the tank?

    Im sure Bill will confirm, but the color is just natural tannins, which looks great in my opinion.

    Paul is correct. Natural tannins from the cocao leaves. Here are a few pics of the aquatic section.


    Most dart tads prefer black water. You can use a blackwater extract for them. I use the tetra blackwater extract. 1 capful to a gallon of distilled water. Lynn done taught me that

    Thought I would give everyone an update. The P. Vittatus are in. 10 of the little cuties. They spend most of their time hiding, but over the course of the past week, have become more and more bold, allowing me to get some pics:













    Plant pics will follow this evening, after I take some new ones. The newest pics I have currently are from over a week ago, before the frogs went in.

    Oh, and I want to thank member Bruce for breeding some very beautiful frogs!!
