Giga Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Think the frogs will have trouble going back and forth from the drop, or they will not hangout down there as often? I depends on the frogs, some just climb straight up the glass while others,like tincs, refuse to climb Wow just ridiculous giga.. Thanks! I'm really enjoying vivariums/frogs more and more as there no maintenance compared to reef. Just have to keep the bug cultures going,which is ez, and feeding, again ez. Link to comment
Reef_Suds Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 LOVE IT! Ill definitely be setting one up when I move into a house in the next year or two.. Link to comment
Withers Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I didn't read through all 11 pages, but what frogs are you going to go with? Link to comment
Giga Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 LOVE IT! Ill definitely be setting one up when I move into a house in the next year or two.. do it, it just as cool as reef if not more so I didn't read through all 11 pages, but what frogs are you going to go with? ranitomeya vent iquitos for one and either luecs or auratus as a larger species I'm also really mastering bug cultures as I have 8 cultures of porcellio scaber of about 100-150 in each culture and the variety this guys is pretty cool. They start out stark white as babies then get steel blue,orange,black,grey or a mix like this guy sorry blurry cell phone shot-couldn't get him to hold still http://s139.photobucket.com/user/Veritas21885/media/20140617_204602_zps138456dc.png.html'> I also have now 4 cultures each of temperate and tropical springs that are going crazy Link to comment
GHill762 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm really loving this.. looks like you have a window into the jungle or something.. lookin good Giga.. Link to comment
Withers Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Seed the tank with those bad boys as you culture them. You'd be surprised at how big a culture the tank will support all on its own. Oh and springtails too, for the inevitable froglets you'll eventually get from the vents Good choices by the way! I chickened out from putting a larger species in my tank because I'm worried about competition for food. I'm not the best at remembering to feed them, heh. Link to comment

It'll look much better once it fully planted Seed the tank with those bad boys as you culture them. You'd be surprised at how big a culture the tank will support all on its own.

I chickened out from putting a larger species in my tank because I'm worried about competition for food. I'm not the best at remembering to feed them, heh. Yeah I already dumped a culture in there I'll be putting another in shortly. I work on the tank everyday after I put my daughter to bed so its not to bad for me as it's my time to relax and just enjoy the tank. I may or may not go with the larger it all depends. But I'm building another tank so I may just put larger in that Link to comment
Withers Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I still think about it too, it would be so cool to have multiple types in there, but I ended up deciding to make the safest choice for my BH's, they're plenty fun on their own. I think I'm to 7 now, it's so much fun to see little froglets sprout out of nowhere Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 They lay eggs in water right? Just wondering cuz where would they do that in a viv Link to comment

I think I'm to 7 now, it's so much fun to see little froglets sprout out of nowhere I was thinking the same thing but the only thing that has me thinking of adding mixed is becuase my LFS has a lot of darts but has a few mixed tank-a few ten gallons with thumbs and luecs and such and there doing fine for the last 6 os so months They lay eggs in water right? Just wondering cuz where would they do that in a viv they lay eggs on a leaf or such then once the hatch they transport them to a brom of a small water pool Link to comment

Cameron6796 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 ^ think he is going more for terrestrial plants that cling to the ground and branches ... Or maybe the one you mean does lol Link to comment
RC1313 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think it's terrestrial..I saw it on twitter lol. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 They are cool but I don't think terrestrial maybe small enough though. Link to comment
Giga Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 planted a begonia 'rex' in the back right to give a good place for the frog to hide if need be http://s139.photobucket.com/user/Veritas21885/media/DSC02178_zpsaf659323.jpg.html'> and then this http://s139.photobucket.com/user/Veritas21885/media/DSC02174_zps6c2db9a2.jpg.html'> http://s139.photobucket.com/user/Veritas21885/media/DSC02176_zps7b3d9c0d.jpg.html'> A lfs of mine that sells darts was having a massive sale.

Mr. Microscope Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Really amazing and beautiful! What are those plants in the second pic? Some sort of fern? Can you take some pics of the vive when the foggers come on? Might make for some nice macros. Link to comment
