Poison Dart Frog vivarium with leucomelas

[dryad1able]

Very nice plant selection! Lovely use of water and concealed mechanics. I would be very careful of locally gathered products, I got a very persistent millipede infestation from local moss- not damaging, just annoying!

black taco.



[LispyLeon]

Hi sorry if this question has already been asked but roughly how much did this whole setup cost?

[HunkyDj]

was that a taco bell comercial

[tarnishedmercury]

very beautiful

[InvaderxArka]

how did you make the little pond area in the corner?

[gatorfan2060]

what are all of the plants that you used for this. This is the coolest tank i have ever seen

[usfpaul82]

thanks again to everyone for the kind comments. As far as cleaning, i wipe down the inside of the glass every few days and replace the water with fresh water every week, using RO water which is what I also use in the humidifier (fogger). Background is made of great stuff foam with the tubes for the various drip locations set up before applying the foam. There is a false bottom in the tank made with egg crate which creates an underground reservoir. where the pump is located to cycle the water.

@usfpaul82 make an update video!

[alfdc08]

beautiful tank! looks professionally made!

[fireball98768]

nice but actually thats a terrarium

[QueenOfOpal123]

@fireball98768 No its a vivarium, a ballanced ecosystem. You have to clean terreriums, not vivariums. plus, vivariums are normaly for frogs.

Someones about to eat at taco bell



[NailedForMe]

dude... your'e my hero! expanding foam background? if not could you tell me what you used?

[Nsantmyre1208]

Hey I'm gettin a 18x18x24 terrarium is that okay for 3 frogs? And would a waterfall and the repti fogger provide enough humidity ? And great tank tue only thing I could think of adding Is leaf litter? I think it would look good :)

[c0deorange]

nice butt hole

[BunkerdPaintball]

How often do you have to clean the tank? I'm considering getting some of these. That looks very nice. Good job!

[CaptainRumi]

awesome vivarium set-up, mate! Can you give me the list of plants you used ?

[poisondartguy]

Cool tank!!! 

[6Pickles3Eggs1Cock]

[davidperello07]

Hey what type of wood did you use?

[philliesP15]

[draco212sti]

How do you keep from fungus growing in there?

[plaines]

beautiful frogs :D

[TheArcheryHunter]

Wow, nice setup!



[nevyn1]

CUTE ^_^

[mark2109111]

Beautiful setup looks amazing

[ImAmerican95]

hey mna. how did u post ur bromeliads exactly?

[93EmilyWatson]

i can't separating the water from land area like you've done on yours. How do you stop the water from seeping into the substrate?

[jgrimmier]

Awesome viv. Looks very natural and well thought out!

Just wondering how you are dealing with the constantly moist soil? And I am also wondering how your bromeliad in the substrate is doing? You obviously have a false bottom, but Bromeliads will typically rot when planted like that.

Great setup again though!

[lilblackfish2009]

Were did u get your back round . And what kind of wood is that?

[AlbertoMuse]

beast how did you make the background

[ImAmerican95]

wow

very niceeee

[tucker123454]

How did you do the drip all over your wood and plants? Can you post a picture or video of how it comes out?

[usfpaul82]

Thanks for all the responses. The frogs were courting but no eggs that I have found. I think the trick to keeping the moss going is air flow in the tank. The back half of the top of the tank is screen. I have a computer fan laying on it and it comes in every few hours for 10 min. It pulls in fresh air from the bottom ventalation holes and cycles it through the tank.

[EFlat762]

yankees are garbage lol. beautiful frogs! are they breeding?

[PsychoticOutburst]

one of the best i've seen!!! looks awesome. hope i can get mine to look this way..... with enough research and time!

[ShnibbleDoggy1010]

[cjcarlosnumber1]

That setup is sweet as hell man.yor frog must love it in there.If you ever put a setup together plz film it.

[ray1taylor]

wow, amazing viv, luuv the moss :D

[mintrev]

AWESOME TANK!!!!!! i would give infinity out of 10

[arKat17]

This is a work of art. hah. And nice dart frog. I was thinking about getting one of these guys but I wouldn't know where to even start setting up such a tank and what it takes to keep up with their lifestyle. I have African Cichlid Fish that's it though.

[katerzyna]

beautiful! absolutely breathtaking! What kind of substrate did you use on the background? It almost looks like a kind of clay..?

[captinclutch1987]

What is the secret to growing moss? I have tried but it always ends up dieing or growing mold. Any suggestions?

[hunterallen48]

hiw much they go for the frogs

[bustedlegninja]

incredible, outstanding, dont know what else to say

[natehixson]

wow. quite an amazing vivarium there.

[willwrite4food]

sick tank. love using natural local free moss.

[ZimZim349]

Nice tank, what are the dimensions?

[HylomantisLemur]

Do the Leucs use the height?

[ProTuner06]

@HylomantisLemur Yes. They are a very vertical frog.

[HylomantisLemur]

Cool, I heard they occasionally climb, wasn't sure how much! Great tank btw.

[phoenixflames44]

beautiful! If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase the moss and broms?

[Dev1walters]

ok thanks alot

[Dev1walters]

awesome tank mine does not look as good as that one but im working on it. what type of plants are in there? were did you get you moss?

[usfpaul82]

Thanks! There are various bromiliads, miniture wondering jew, piliea tears and various mosses. The ground cover on the left side is Riccia. It is also on the wood peices on the background. The moss on the right side is a type of pillow moss. I got the moss from a creek near my house and got the riccia online.

[BrEtT2341]

@usfpaul82 hey how did you separate the land and water? and what plants are the ones at the bottom with all the leaves?
