Natural or Simple

[birdsflybackwards]

Just like to make a point..

the more sterile tanks I maintain are a lot more work to manage than the "natural" ones, they need to be cleaned a lot since there's no microfauna to break down wastes and no plants to keep the water clean. It may seem quicker but vivariums with natural elements are a lot less time consuming longterm. Don't really see the point of purposely making such a minimalistic setup for the frogs, you don't get to see some really cool behavoirs.

Natural all the way!!!! Once established, a natural viv hardly needs any maintenance apart from a bit of pruning back now and again. Seeing my darts back up slowing towards the water pool - start clinging to the bark lined edge and using their toes to see the depth of the water or my reeds jumping from vine to vine that hangs from the top of the viv behaving like tarzan...really makes having a natural viv worth all the effort.
I do however, have a basic viv with minimal plants and substrate for quarantine purposes - this way if I needed to use it - the basic viv contents can be chucked away to avoid any spread of bacteria ect..

it would depend if you going to breed them or not. if you going to breed them i would do natiral but if not and you want to go cheap go simple. its really doesnt matter.
