Potential New Frogger

[elly]

1. I've seen pictures of darts climbing glass, I doubt they'll have trouble climbing branches.

2. I'll let people familiar with water features answer.

Welcome to the forum! Oh gosh if a tank like that would get in my hands .....lol

anyhow... Water features are nightmare.... and very strong headache... But if you are up to and are well equiped with some Advil... You should be fine but you gotta do a reseach and of course if you have qs you are welcome to ask.

and now when I have my darts... I must say.. They are the most entertaining frogs out there. Get one of the bigger ones, azureus or similar, they are always out, eating like pigs, recognize you and beg for food. Tree frogs will be sleeping all day and you won't see them doing much of anything unless you are night owl yourself.

Oh and yes, they ( darts, depending on species) will be climbing all over the place. My azureus are using very single inch of the tank, it is 24" in hight. Keep in mind the actual height will be less when you put false bottom, substrate, stuff.

Lija,

Thank you for the input. Based on what you said, I really do think I am going with the darts. I know they won't have all 24 vertical inches to use, but if I can get a species of darts that like climbing, they will appreciate the vertical space.

I don't mind spending the time and energy researching how to do an effective water feature, as long as I think it will enhance my frogs "lives" and they enjoy it. From what I have read so far, some dart frogs do enjoy hanging out around water.

I am beginning to get a feel for what I think will work and all, including the frogs, will enjoy.
