I am building a new vivarium and was looking at either doing Eco earth or tree fern for a substrate,which one should I do?
I'd say it depends on what kind of frog you have, and what your tank is set up like. I use eco earth for my Whites Tree Frog and I like it a lot.
I want to put either a Amazon milk frog or a red eyed tree frog haven't decide which one yet,what do you think?
Thanks for the help I really like both but I think I'm going to go with the milk frog.
I can't believe they arnt that popular.How many do you think I could fit in a 29 gallon tank?
Thanks for the help,do you know where I could buy 3 in the u.s?
Both of those frogs would do better with a live planted set up. I would use ABG mix, it can be ordered online at places like josh's frogs, NEHerp, Black Jungle, etc. Otherwise you can find a recipe to mix your own. I cover my substrate with leaf litter and live sheet moss to prevent any accidental ingestion. Have you considered converting the 29g to a vertical tank? You lose a lot of height doing a drainage layer and soil, and considering they're tree frogs, they like height! I had my 2 red eyes in a 20g high at first, it was not enough space/height for them to move about comfortably. They are now in a 24" tall tank and are thriving. Also, make sure to quarantine any new frogs you get.

I was planning on doing a live planted tank. I Also was thinking about doing hydro balls then eco earth and then some coco husk,and moss. Some moss. I was planing on doing a water fall with a like damp section. I already ordered those, why is abg mix better?
Abg provides your plants with the necessary nutrients and drainage. Coco husk would be bad on top because accidental ingestion would likely lead to impaction and/or prolapse. You could use those materials to make your own abg mix though. If you do a search, you should be able to find a recipe. How were you planning to do a waterfall? Stand alone or through the substrate/drainage layer? You don't want boggy substrate, it's a breeding ground for bacteria.

I was planning on putting my pump order some like gravel/rocks and then put a little moss on that and have a tiny bit of standing water but mainly have like a drip to trickle flowing. And also could I private message you or do something so I could ask you a few more questions?
You can PM me. You will want to do a false bottom with a defined water area though. With that size tank, it would just bog it all up.
I highly recommend reading through the links on this thread - http://www.frogforum.net/showthread.php?t=32167 - It will answer a lot of questions and save us from having to retype it all out again lol.
