Dart frogs for a beginner

[John]

I'm at work so this has to be quick.

Dartfrogs are like learning to ride a bike - it's very challenging, and simple mistakes can hurt a lot, but once you "get it", it's pretty easy. Simple mistakes = killing your frogs very easily. So do your homework as you are.

The Sihler book is flawed, in my opinion. Actually, English language dart frog books aren't wonderful, but again, that's my opinion. Sihler's book is the one that has a double false bottom and no real substrate - why on earth such a construction would be of any use to man or beast, I don't know.

Regarding tank size - azureus don't climb much - think horizontal size over vertical size. Vertical terrariums are more for thumbnail dart frogs and real climbers like Leucomelas.
