The only real mistake I made early on was buying frogs without doing the proper research before hand. I did that one right out of the gate lol.

All my mistakes can be lumped into "learning curve"


I guess looking back and reflecting on issues and problems I have come across I don't consider them "Mistakes" when I tried something new and then ended up having to rework the tank because something wasn't going the way I expected. I look at everything (the good and the bad) and can say I would not be where I am at right now with my tanks and frogs if I didn't learn somethings through experience. Some issues I came across wasn't anything I did really wrong as much as it was learning the technique for building a certain background or feature. Learning how not to kill certain types of plants, Learning how to culture fruit flies, Learning how to get fruit flies out of the culture without having 1000 of them escape, learning how to properly apply spray foam, learning how to design a tank for the frog and not just for me, learning how to keep humidity up, how to heat.... I could go on and on. I am still learning and learn some new trick or technique or get an idea from another tank daily.
