    Dart frogs!

    Picked up a pair of tinctorios azureus from the reptile expo today and I already love them!

    Beautiful setup and frogs, I've dabbled with d.auratus and had poor luck, but I suspect my temps were a bit high and I had trouble maintaining the plant life long term.

    You clearly have no such issue with that amazing setup.

    I used I bunch of Ficus Pumila (creeping fig) in the background and it grows like a weed. A lot of frog keepers hate it but I really like the look of it when it covers everything.

    Other than that it's made of fairly sturdy plants, rabbit foot ferns, strawberry begonia, and aluminum plant. They hold up nicely to most conditions.

    I had creeping fig in my setup, I nearly filled the entire enclosure, but after about a year it burnt out and starting dying back, I suspect it's nutrient needs outstripped my ability to fertillize it.

    Hmm. I'm gonna try to replant it if that happens. I have been running the tank for about 5 months and haven't noticed too many problems, it seems to grow even in just sphagnum moss. If it does die off though I would like to throw in a bunch of bromeliads and maybe some pileas. I have a bunch of plants to replace any die offs.

    Just the two for the whole 40 gallon setup. Makes it hard to spot them sometimes because it's so dense.

    The breeder gave me some broms and I think it helps the setup a bit. And it's really hard to show how truly Gorgeous these frogs are. Hopefully they're a male and female so I can breed them.
