If you ever need to build a quarantine tank for darts, it should be simple. As you might need to sterilize it often depending on the treatment or the reason why the frog is in quarantine. When I housed my P. terribilis in a quarantine, I made it simple. I kept a wet Scott Towel at the bottom for humidity. But as frogs are stressed by the color white, I added sphagnum moss over it. A layer of leaf litter could have also being good. I was suggested to use plastic plants in quarantine tanks instead of real plants, and this by very reputable hobbyists. The reason is that whatever the frog may carry, it will be easier to wash/sterilize it between treatments (as in the case of the A. hoogmoedi - after each fungus treatment and/or antibiotics, the whole quarantine tank was sterilized (javeled), fake plants and everything used to touch the frog.

If you have a hiding spot for your dart frog, make sure you can also disinfect it. As the humidity need to be kept higher in a dart quarantine tank, the risk of bacteria will be greater in that tank. Make sure you keep the tank in a place where you know the frog will relax, away from stress.
