Not new to keeping amphibians/reptiles, but new to keeping dart frogs and I want to know your opinion to best species to get from these options: Ranitomeya imitator vs Ranitomeya variabilis.

More info: I have a 18x18x24 tank so I want to get a more arboreal species hence the 2 choices being from Ranitomeya. I also would prefer to be able to have more than 2 frogs in the setup. I plan to make the tank with a small water feature and a few inches of water for something small like cherry shrimp or something like that. I can also scape and plant it so there is adequate separation. I think that’s all the relevant info, would appreciate any opinions, recommendations and/or feedback.

I think I’m mostly wanting to type this out just to see it fleshed out. I always played games with my brother when I was younger and was never addicted, I enjoyed it but not like after high school. After high school I went to college and didn’t make friends at first for a semester and a half I didn’t meet anyone I wanted to continue investing in. People knew I played Rocket League and introduced me to a guy who also played, he was pretty cool and we shared a hobby. He was better than me at the game so I worked hard to get to his level. After that, we eventually became roommates and went on to play other games. I mention all this to say that I wonder if I gained this addiction as a proxy to friendship and approval by others?? Nonetheless, my love for games increased heavily. I would grind whatever game my friends were playing so I could be the best in the group (or at least try to be). I neglected classes and underperformed but I’m blessed with a good memory so I was able to maintain my GPA to keep my scholarship. After I graduated I got a job and bought my first PC and I was in love even more than before. I went from rocket league, Fortnite, apex, COD all with friends in real life to playing DayZ, Rust, Escape From Tarkov. None of my friends had PC so I eventually made new friends(?) in these new games to make myself believe I was playing to maintain relationships.

I’ve just completed my third year of medical school and still addicted. When I wake up in the morning, I think, what do I need to get done today in order to play video games. It’s all-consuming. I love to excel and win. It’s such a fantastic feeling. I found myself sitting here tonight, neglecting my wife, because I was playing video games - a nightly occurrence - and it just felt different tonight. I also need to mention the full truth in that the other half of what has brought me to this point is God. I am a Christian and every time I go to genuinely pray about more than surface level things, the topic of giving up games is always brought to the forefront. Don’t mean to make this into a religious discussion but mentioning it because it’s part of my journey to quitting games (and the beginning matter from the world all had to come from somewhere - just a quick thought).

Anyways, the approach I believe I am going to take is to just sell everything and invest in a docking station for my school laptop so I still have a nice study spot. My only question being, what thoughts do you have on keeping the posters and figurines I have from various games? If I’m selling my portal to play those games it seems fine to keep them as a memory of the fun that was had?

I appreciate anyone who reads this or has anything to say/advice.

There’s a skin and chroma that has an Ult where the arrow is super lowkey and harder to see. Do any of you guys know what I’m referring to and if so what the name and chroma would be?
