hi there guys and girls.
i am new to the dart frog and dart den world so please don't be offended by my silly questions.
after a good few months of researching these little beauties, i decided to take the plunge and go get myself a set-up. i have a 45cmx45cmx60cmhigh tank which is now home to a beautiful sexed pair of Azures...(god these are a good looking frog!) it is a very nice set up and they seem to have settled in well to there new home (even though it has only been 5 days) on the first proper day they were eating and seem to be active which is obviously a good sign? i think? but....they do not seem to be active for all that long...and seem to be resting for allot of the day. the only thing my setup does not have is a heat source or heat bulb. could this be the reason why my babies seem to be a little lethargic? my room temperature is about 19 degrees and is about the same in the tank. i understand that these frogs like it around the 25 mark? correct me if im wrong. could this be effecting the frogs and there overall activeness?
besides from this everything seems to be fine and could not be happier with my new pet and think that all of these frogs are fantastic in there own little way.
your superior knowledge would be very helpful and very much appreciated.
thanks in advance.
