Live plants with RETF

[DigitalPunk]

Yay for doing research ahead of time!!

alocasia is always a great choice for Reds. They LOVE the big broad leaves on them. Pothos is also a very good (near impossible to kill) plant for any Tree frog. Snake Plants are great too, they are nearly bullet proof and can support multiple Red Eyes on a single leaf. My Reds loved sleeping on Snake Plants and Pothos.

As for backgrounds. I have tried several attempts at background for Reds and from my experience they really prefer all glass. My reds hated climbing on cork or spray foam covered in a fiber. If you are wanting to plant high with something like a Pothos you can look into some of the Magnetic ledges with a flower pot built into it. I have used them for RETF in the past and they hold up very very well. If you do decide to go this route I recommend drilling several holes in the bottom of them for drainage to prevent the soil from swamping out.

Here is my last Red Eye tank I did and they loved it in there. (It is a 40b Aquarium I converted to a vertical tank 18x17x36) It has 2 of the Magnetic ledges in there. I put a moss vine in, but the reds never really used it.
