“How many dart frogs can I keep in this?” type shih

Hi fellow froggers,

It's me again, with some more tadpole questions.

Status: Somehow all 8 tadpoles, from my first clutch of eggs from my Auratus Superblue, are still alive and seems to be thriving. 4 of them have just popped their front legs, and I'm not sure where to go from here. Not much info to be found online.

What water level should they be in, and do they need a ramp of some sort, to help them crawl up for air?

What do I feed them at this stage? They have been fed fish food flakes and spirulina since they hatched, should I keep feeding them that? When do I switch over to springtails/fruit flies?

How fast can I expect them to absorb the tail, and when do I need to move them to their grow out bin? Can they live together in their grow out bin?

I have attached some photos of the current setup for those tadpoles with front legs. Water has been lowered and I placed a leaf to act as a ramp for them.

I realise this is a lot of questions. If you know the answer to some of the questions but not all, me and my tadpoles would still greatly appreciate your answer.

Just wanted to share my most ambitious and difficult terrarium project. If you have some critics or suggestions tell me. Obviously the terrarium it's young and the plants and the moss aren't perfect but i'm hopefully they'll be.

Just noticed this odd material which kinda looks like salt on some plants…anybody know what this is?

Just wondering if you guys do this or simply leave them open. And what benefits do you see in blacking out the side panels

so I’ve currently got my one year old corn snake in a 40 gallon enclosure. Pretty sure it’s a 36 x 18 x 18. Could be wrong. yes I know she’s gonna out grow It. And I plan to bump her up to a 90 gallon enclosure. And I plan to keep the 40 gallon. And I plan to at minimum turn it into a big terrarium, probably put bugs in it. would a 40 gallon enclosure be good for some dart frogs? Or should I just keep it as a terrarium after I upgrade my corns enclosure? Any opinions? totally fine if there aren’t, just curious. It’s about average hight. Would they need something taller, or would it be good? The pic is of the tank currently.

So I completed the main scaping of this tank around 5 days ago, added plants 4 days ago and added springtails/isopods 2 days ago. I am seeing all this mold looking growth and the plants look terrible with the heart fern having some small leaves completely curl in and the button fern turning brownish. Is this normal distress where everything rebounds or is something wrong?

Can give more info if needed. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I posted my first draft of the tank a couple of days ago, Thanks for the wonderful input, this is what the tank currently looks like now with a thick layer of leaf litter and some small touches. I am planning to add more vines for new spaces for bromeliads. I also found the plant of my choice which is begonia prismatocarpa and its going to arrive this 6 July, it will grow lush and climb the wood making more cover for the frogs, the frogs are really tiny and this tank is very huge for them and has lots of hide esp inside the wood. I know some with more experience will have a lot of comments regarding the lack of plants, but this is something I want to explore a little, all my tanks have been following the norms of the dart frog hobby and I kinda want to explore with creativity but at the same time making it live-able for the frogs.

Sind das Männchen und Weibchen? Der kräftig gefärbte ist eigentlich schlanker hat aber gerade gefressen.
Mir wurde gesagt gesagt durch die großen Haftscheiben, der schlanken Form und der Kräftigen Färbung es ist ein Männchen und das vordere soll ein Weibchen sein, kleine Haftscheiben, birnenförmige und blasser.
Stimmt das?

Hello.

As the title says, I’m worried my frog is sick or something. It looks like he has lost some weight and is always on the top part of the tank. I moved him in to another tank to give him more opportunity to eat since he’s the only frog in that tank. Also, he looks a bit “flat”? I don’t know if that is a sign of something

Some context: P. vittatus, 0.0.2, >2 years old housed together since November.

This "aggressive" behavior is only exhibited by the smaller one while the larger one just sits there and takes it. The larger one is about 6 months older and has been seen making calls a few times a week. I see both hunt, eat, climb, explore, etc. independently as well as spending ample time around eachother seemingly unbothered.

Anyway, the little one will jump onto the other and mess around for less than a minute then they'll both go back to doing whatever - as quick as the interaction in the video. Is this bad aggression or horny aggression?

Can a dark frog tank be too bright I was using one light at first, but I noticed that the bottom was too shaded and I need my plants to grow so I added a second one. Is it to bright now?

If it's a male he has small toe pads if it's a female she has very large toe pads. 1-2 are suspected female 3-4 is known male. Not sure if my optimism is clouding my judgement but fingers crossed

Got my two frogs about two and a half months ago. Would go days without seeing them at all, and over the last ten days, they've started climbing, calling, and being much more "front and center"

He's not too skinny, is he?
