How does my tank look ?
#1
HELLO!!!

Sometime next week i get my first dart frogs ( i owned 3 auratus frogs about 2 years ago but then i had to move). I am getting 4 mint terribilis froglets from blackjungle. I will probably be selling two of them due to tank size complications. i was just wondering how good terribilis do in a community tank, so far i have heard htey od pretty well. i dont quite know the size of the tank in gallons but the measurments are 24x18x17.

Looks nice, what do you have on the back? Welcome to DartDen.

WeeMan,
That tank will support four terribilis. They do great in groups. I would add some more broad leaf plants to give a bit more cover. I would also add a couple more love huts.
What is that big white thing hanging down from the top?

thebig white thing is a heat lamp that i dont use anymore, i dont know why i havnt removed it. i have been thinking about those broadleafed plants, all i need to do is to get some from the nursery. i dont have much more room for love huts but i have used three "monkey pods" as subteranean hiding spots. the pods are like tubes made from some sort of tropical nut but they area about 5 inchs long, i know i probably wont be getting breeding behavior out of those but they serve as excellent hiding spots. i will see if i have any more spots for another hut.

the stuff on the back is made out of coconut fiber, you can find it at black jungle

Wee man, I love the moss, what type and where did you get it? I would ditch the palm plant in the middle, and get a nice sized neoregelia brom. The terribs would like that I believe. Other than that it looks good. Oh yeah, maybe put some creeping fig on the background so it will eventually cover it. I agree with rich, you need atleast 3 more good hiding spots so that stress from not being able to hide doesn't occur. Good work though,

i found another place for the coco hut but im usin it in a small quarantine tank until they get a little bigger, since they will be froglets when i receive them.

i got the "live sheet moss" from www.blackjungle.com

if I am not mistaken the moss is Vesicularia dubyana(CN=Java Moss). The pic is a little blurry... but it is a common aquatic moss that I use in many of my fish tanks.
