I like the water feature. It seems like a large terrarium - how many gallons is it? If it were me, I'd probably plant it more heavily and I would probably use leaf litter instead of pebbles. But that is personal preference. What kind of darts are you going to keep in there?

[extremekx]

its 75 gallons undecided on the exact species. im still making changes daily im not completely happy with the look

Good start so far.. I agree with John about heavily planting and the leaf litter. A couple of ferns and some alocasia would look awesome in there. You've got lots of room to work with, so don't rush things... Don't forget that you can have a few epiphytic plants on the background as well.

Also, springtails and isopods are your friends... make sure you seed the tank with them, or springtails at least.

ive been working on this tank for a few months. im having trouble keeping the temp up. trying to read as much as possible this is my first attempt to keep dart frogs. were can i get springtails? as for leaf litter im worried about using leaves from the yard

Most dart frog dealers carry springtails.

im looking for a local dealer. but im having trouble finding one.i talked to a couple of pet stores and they said they could order dart frogs but i need someone with frog knowledge

Josh's frogs (one of our sponsors - check the sponsors page) sells spring tail cultures and I've been buying supplies from them off and on long before they became a sponsor.

Personally I wouldn't buy any frog through the pet trade if I could avoid it - you want to deal with people who are familiar with these frogs and treat them correctly. And you want to avoid frogs that have been through a wholesaler.
