Lol, I’ll upload one to YouTube tomorrow. The frogs won’t make any sounds until they are a year old, this species is super quiet too, should be very hard to hear. My wife didn’t want loud ones lol.

I thought I had a video of the misters going but I guess I deleted it for some reason. Here’s a video of them eating the first day

They are getting a little chubbier now, they are quite thin in this video. I use repashy calcium and repashy vitamin A powders. This video was taken before they came in the mail.

What do you feed the frogs? How hard is it to get food for them? I had 20 gallon tank of tree frogs from Kentucky when I was a kid and I collected ants for food. Your video reminds me of watching 20 plus small frogs stalking ants. It was often a 20 minute family show as everyone gathered in my room to watch!

Very cool! I feed them melanogaster wingless fruit flies. They also munch on springtails and isopods I added as the clean up crew.

The flies are easy. I ordered a culture off joshsfrogs. Then made more cultures with it by adding a few flies from the original into a 32oz deli cup with vented lid, added my mix of fruit fly powdered media and boiling Rodi, then topped with excelsior(Wood strips kind of like hemp string) twisted into a ball. They breed and hop around in there and make unlimited food for the froggies

. The media smells like cinnamon butter from Texas Roadhouse, it’s very confusing lol.

Love your tanks!! I was just going reading some of your thread and see you are using the aqua life hybrid. Are you using 2 360 or 360x?

Nice vivarium! I feel like now I want that misting machine and a tank for my bromeliad. Looking great! Keep it up.

Nice tank and vivarium!

I used to keep leuc dart frogs. It is really a fun hobby. Here are pics of mine when it grew in.

Having skimmer issues in my 90. I broke it while trying to clean it... It’s been jammed up with snails for awhile and not skimming well. Coralline has stopped growing and I need to get this figured out quick before my coral starts dying.
My vivarium is also doing pretty awful. Frogs are good but the plants are all dying from root rot. My soil is too wet; I need to basically replace the entire substrate now, reseed it with clean up crew, buy all new plants, ugh.

Things are going good again. Aired out the vivarium for the past two days, did a 50% WC on the 90, siphoned the sand bed. Things look good again.

Installed a humidity and temp probe in the viv.

Added a male and female royal gramma to the 90 today! I’ve wanted a mated pair for some time! Hopefully they adapt well. My chromis is already being mean!
