No one is more bummed than I am to see it come apart. I am however very excited with how the new layout looks in my head, I just need to try and recreate it or at least get close lol.


I will get some pictures up tomorrow as I go. I ordered a few Madagascar (Mantella are from Madagascar) native plants that will be going into this tank. It is incredibly hard to source a wide varriety of plants from their, but thank to Bill's help I was able to find 2 ferns and an Orchid from Madagascar.

The rest of the plants will be a mix of common and not so common plants. Really wish I could of done a biotope of Madagascar for them, but 3 is better than none lol.


Mantella Enbenaui are most commonly found along streams and ditches on an island called "Nosy Be". With this redesign I was going to try and recreate something more similar to their natural surrounding. My 5 Ebenaui are wild caught frogs, hopefully they will appreciate the effort and not judge me to harshly lol.

Stay tuned I plan to upload a bunch of pictures tomorrow. It will probably take me 1/2 the day just to take the tank apart.
