Getting ready 135 tank

[llmoe]

I love the plants you're adding!! Especially the arrow (taro) plant. It's my faveorite. Although I don't have a viv big enough for one. And I don't want to freik u out, just a precaution, may have just been the overall size of mine. But the shefferella (umbrella) plant almost killed my frog. There are quite a few kinds and I picked the bad one. And it was so huge in the tank, the size of it may have been the problem. It gassed the entire tank and smelt so strong of pine/citronella. I googled it and most peep don't have problems, and they're so hard to tell appart, just watch your animals allot when u get them. My Whites Tree Frog puffed up, especially round the neck, and was lethargic and on the brink. I had to switch out tank real quick and soaked her in water, and aired out the tank. Just be carefull and watch. and after handling it, I could feel/taste it in my mouth.

None the plants have those names so not to sure which one you are talking about.. I am a contractor and can build anything and I do houses but I know NOTHING about plants. Which plant is what you said is the umbrella..I will get the names on the pots and post them.. As of now they have no smell to them.. I tried to smell them and not really a smell to them but I will post the names.. Don't want to put in something that will hurt the frogs.. Thanks for the info.

well if u r doing darts or something it's fine. But fir whites or maybe monkey frogs that break leaves and stems it's not. So don't freik ok, but it's the one with little hands and six point leaves. And don't get me wrong, there's thousands of them in vivs all over, but I had jammed one into a 10 gallon, under the extreme smush, it was releasing sap, and contact with the sap is the problem. I had a thread umbrella dellema, no 1 answered. There's 10 varieties if this and 2 are toxic. But u see that used alot without problems. Darts won't be big enough to get a dose, just don't trim of bansai like I did, that stress on plant causes the problem I had. And it was the entire viv, frog couldn't get away unless he had a glass cutter!!! LOL.
Posting names here won't do much good, but google the long scientific name, should be a scherferella SOMETHING.......... And like I said, darts or whatever will be fine, just not a climber.. Sorry, just after what I went through, I warn every1 to watch your frogs, and yank the culprate. Schedferella is suggested for viv plants, so keep that in mind also, many toxic plants are on viv list, but it depends on what youre housing

I was wondering about that plant.. I liked the looks but was sure about the stems. I thought the leaves were great and sturdy..

From left to right.. No counting the lil on in sink way left.
Alocasia, arboricola, janet craig, sago palm..

The frogs are going to be RETF's.. Those have always been are favorites and we raised alot of them in the past..

snap a leaf off umbrella and give it a sniff. Just so you are framiliar with the smell, if it's starts to gas that tank u'll know. Red are small enough I don't think they'll break a leaf. And they might not even climb it. Like I said, my 10gal was stuffed with a bent stressed plant. It didn't kill my frog, but reaction was within 2 days.

They're in allot of vivs, don't stress too much, just smell your viv, watch your frogs, and be aware.

Oooh, I just checked and umbrella and Janus were on potentially dangerous list. Schedferella archocola, U should read more on it if u need to. I went to site called, plants are the strangest people. Clearify on potentally dangerous, check for skin contact, or saps, ingesting them is irrevalant, but stuff that causes respitory or skin irritation is a no no.

Also google plants for amphibians, Janus craig might be on there as ok. I've seen umbrella on sites as ok, but I think that was just one of 10 varieties.
