    I keep pairs of large tinctorius in terrariums of similar size to yours, so I think you could keep either of the two species you mention.

    If you're getting bromeliads, try to get the smaller varieties of Neo.

    Thanks John

    I really like it but that bromeliad looks too big for the terrarium.

    Thank you.

    Yes, the bromeliad is big, but for now it just fits, so I'm thinking I can prune it in the future..

    Other than a small lake, do you think I should had another elements? I think it's ok like this..

    Wow awesome pictures! Nice tank indeed! As for making an aquatic area you could use a dish or just get plexiglass and make one of of plexiglass and silicone glue in an area youd like.

    As for the plants in my opinion.... The broms will outgrow that tank. I mean have you ever noticed how plants root system grow? It takes a couple of years. But USSUALLY you can tell how large of a space the roots have spreaded out by looking at how big the plant has grown. This goes for any plant. So trimming is okay. But you do not want the roots to have no more space for growth or they will end up dying. A healthy plant is a growing plant. Of course they will take a long time to grow. So you dont have to worry about that RIGHT away. Oh remember not to cut the roots. So you may even keep the plants in for a couple of years. But when they out grow the tank just plant them in your garden or something and replace them. :P Especially since they dont have much floorspace to grow in a tank like that. I learnt this when I went to lowes and then when I went to a plant nursery. :P Plants are the same like animals. you do not want to stunt their growth.

    I like your photos though. :P Though I also like his. I cant decide which has the best photos since they all look great! In any case I say you have some nice species of darts and mantellas. My favorite dart are the ones called green and black and the yellow and black(bumblebee).
