    Default Live plants with RETF

    Hello and welcome .

    You've got some great advice and recommendations already .

    Red eyed tree frogs live up in the "canopy" of the rainforest trees. They love to walk and leap amongst the leaf tops with those adorable sticky feet and long legs.

    Great tree frog plants are those that will hold their weight and that will thrive in the moist vivarium conditions.

    Some already listed and some extras include:

    Agalonema (Chinese evergreens)

    Alocasia

    Philodendron

    Potho

    They will appreciate minimal substrate on their feet. If planting a false bottom, adding some larger leaf litter over the substrate will help. ABG mix works great for the plants and Indian almond leaves are a nice large leaf litter choice.

    I do as Lynn does, and have my plants in pots and then use paper towel as flooring.

    You might also want to consider bowl feeding in which your crickets are added to a glass bowl of 1 1/2" or higher so no crickets are running around.

    You'll also want to consider a space above the tank for your plant light. You'll want a 6500K bulb to keep your plants happy and healthy. It will look so pretty in a lovely oak cabinet.

    (I'll look for some pics in a bit).
