thanks,kyle!

You need to keep the different kinds of darts seperate from each other. Color and pattern give the ability to help distinguish between the types. Whoever you are buying them from should be able to tell what type they are. Leucs and Auratus are some of the best darts to start with. Any of tincs are OK as well, but you should not keep more than two in an enclosure. The Leucs and Auratus tend to work well in a group.

As far as enclosures, it is good to try to have at least 10 gallons per frog, even 15-20 gallons per tinc is not a bad idea. Overcrowding them tends to stress them, which can lead to death.
