First Dart Frog Trio

[Strider18]

Hello and welcome forums! I will be building a misting system for my tank but only because it is 120 gallons and it will have air flowing through it so it will need to be misted often (house gets a little to hot for the darts). It probably wouldn't be worth it for a tank that small IMO.

0.0.1 PCf
Soon to come 0.0.4 Phyllobates bicolor

Hello Again,

Welcome--- lots of excellent information and great members here for you !

I think this was a great way to have purchased the frogs - especially this species.
This species - does NOT like change; they don't like their stuff messed with.

So you know... if you make any changes ( ie plant trimming etc ) do very little at a time.
They can get under things too ! You don't want to - ever- go digging
For example --- be very careful if adding a new plant; know where they are , otherwise they are right in the hole !!!

They do well in a groups like this

IMO - keep an eye on the integrity of the false bottom.
If there is a small opening anywhere in the enclosure-- this species WILL find it and squeeze their little bodies right in ! Be alert for this since there may be a little stress having moved their enclosure.

We all do things a little differently. I feed all PDF daily. If you see there are a lot of leftover flies--- hold off for a day or so , so they can clean up.----and/or put less in.

Careful w/ the banana if you are culturing 2 different species of fruit flies. If the species inter-breed in the tank ----> they will take 'flight'. Yikes !

Best of luck

Update on the frogs for you guys. They are doing very well, eating good everyday. I woke up today and found that one of them is starting to wander back under the coco hut every now and then. None of them were going in it for the first few days. Tank hits a high of 74 and low of 68 in a 24 hour span so that seems good. My fruit fly culturing kit came in from josh's frogs yesterday so that will be nice to have now. Humidity usually stays around 85%. I find them very interesting. I watch them quite often, and they do the same whenever they see me. They are up on the front glass quite often looking out. Well that's it for today with these guys. I have some new pics I'll post up as well. Hopefully everyone is well!!
