Giga Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Looks like I'm going to be setting up my viv again after I finish my tank. Be around Christmas I would guess and since my tank is much the same as you I'm gonna copy ur's Link to comment
Withers Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Damn you. Since the moment I first stumbled across your build, I couldn't get Viv's out of my head. Now I have a bead on the Zoomed XL and a fascination with auratus that I didn't want. I even know waterfalls are considered a noob thing now. It's brutal, SW is expensive enough with out trying to work a vivarium "in to the build." It looks great, I bow before the fern king. Looks like I'm going to be setting up my viv again after I finish my tank. Be around Christmas I would guess and since my tank is much the same as you I'm gonna copy ur's muahaha. hey, at least they're way cheaper then reef tanks Link to comment
Psychosis Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 muahaha. hey, at least they're way cheaper then reef tanks I can give you that. Damn you all the same. Oh, I forgot to mention, damn your camera skills as well. If it where a gun, you'd be Rambo. Link to comment
Giga Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 What ur feeding routine and setup? Link to comment
Withers Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I feed dusted fruit flies 3-4 times a week, but I feed a ton of them at a time to make sure the frogs can find food. I probably dump 300-400 flies in at a time. Link to comment
Giga Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 how many fruit flies cultures you running? Link to comment
Tripwyr Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oh damn it. Why did I read this? Beautiful vivarium dude. Between you and Giga, I don't know how I'm going to resist turning and building a vivarium. Link to comment

Withers Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 how many fruit flies cultures you running? I do 3 at a time, and I culture them once a month I waste a lot of flies. Link to comment

Withers Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Rare glimpse of the 3rd froglet, he's a shy one http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/10431753214/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/10431753214/'>Froglet #3 by http://www.flickr.com/people/jasonwithers/'>jasonwithers, on Flickr Hmm, the pic seems underexposed on this monitor. Might have to fix that. Link to comment
Withers Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I picked up a pair of frogs from my father-in-law. He was tired of caring for them after 6 years so I offered to take them off his hands. They're not going in this tank though. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/10600603453/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/10600603453/'>Hyloxalus Azureiventris by http://www.flickr.com/people/jasonwithers/'>jasonwithers, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/10600349935/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/10600349935/'>Hyloxalus Azureiventris by http://www.flickr.com/people/jasonwithers/'>jasonwithers, on Flickr If one of these turns out to be female I would have one of a very few breeding pairs in the country.

Reefer Addict Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Great looking Viv. Here's an old pic of mine... http://s147.photobucket.com/user/uscmba04/media/VivMK.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Zer0 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 How about an updated shot of the setup? Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Wow these are some beautiful shots good camera work, also love the viv it looks amazing, I think I'm going to stick to reefs for now since no where near me has amphibians. Link to comment
Giga Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Wow these are some beautiful shots good camera work, also love the viv it looks amazing, I think I'm going to stick to reefs for now since no where near me has amphibians. Yeah there's a couple place that sell darts here but they can't tell me what line they came from n such, plus there prices are inflated. I just buy from people on dendroboard or the sponsors there, like Josh's frogs or dendrobati Link to comment
Withers Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 How about an updated shot of the setup? Sorry I guess I'm not getting email notifications anymore I'll clean it up and take a picture this week. I should be seeing another froglet soon, they've been raising one in a film canister for what feels like months now Link to comment
Giga Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 sorry but what thumbnail is in there again?, and I guess there doing pretty good if they are raiseing tadpoles Link to comment
Withers Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 They're imitators, Baja Huallaga. It took them about a year and a half before they got the hang of it, but now they're cranking them out. Link to comment
Withers Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 One of my bulbs went out over Christmas, so no shots of the tank till I get a replacement in, but one of the froglets (adults now I guess) was really going out on a limb today http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/11768142155/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/11768142155/'>R. imitator "Baja Huallaga" by http://www.flickr.com/people/jasonwithers/'>jasonwithers, on Flickr Closer up http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/11768899726/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/11768899726/'>R. imitator "Baja Huallaga" by http://www.flickr.com/people/jasonwithers/'>jasonwithers, on Flickr Link to comment

Withers Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks! New froglet finally showed his face http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/11887699026/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonwithers/11887699026/'>Froglet # 4 by http://www.flickr.com/people/jasonwithers/'>jasonwithers, on Flickr I'm going to be cleaning the tank this week, I'll take some pics. My bromeliads really need to be tossed out, they're pretty much dead and melting Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 How often do you see the frogs ? your viv is so big, how many frogs do you have? If one died and you didn't notice what would happen? Link to comment
Withers Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I can usually spot at least 2 at any given time. I have 5 total. If one died he would just disappear. There'd be nothing I could do to retrieve it and it wouldn't cause any problems in the tank. I know I lost the first froglet they produced, and I originally had a trio but the odd man out wasted away for whatever reason. He just wouldn't eat despite tons of food in the tank. Link to comment
