55 Gallon Vivarium Build

John and Eric,

Thank you very much for your compliments. I can honestly say I enjoyed working on the vivarium and look forward to the next one. As I mentioned to Don the worst part is waiting out the settling in period.

I have decided a group of four Dendrobates azureus would look nicely in the tank. Anyone please feel free to comment on my choice and if you feel this is too many. I'm just waiting for the weather to settle down a bit before ordering.

I will be housing 2 azureus in my 25 gallons. When I contacted Understory Enterprises, they said you could easily house 4 of these in a 40 gallons.

John is not a big fan of azureus. I think they are just gorgeous.

I think they look great too. Also all the literature I have read states they make good beginner darts. So that is what I will start of with.

I have uploaded a video to youtube of the 55 Gallon Vivarium. This is the very first video I have ever uploaded so be kind. I took the video with my wifes minoHD Flip Video Camera and used PowerDirector to edit the video.

Hope you enjoy it!

I have received the moss I ordered from Josh Frogs and put some into the vivarium. Here are some quick shots of the moss I put down.



This is Mood Moss or Frog Moss.



This is Sheet Moss.

All the moss arrived in gallon baggies and once put in and watered seem to perk right up, I have a ton more for my next ongoing build.
