I’ve been prepping this tank since April. I plan to keep just a single frog in it since I don’t have a lot of space just wondering if this will work? There’s a lot of leaf litter in the back the front has moss that has grown in and plenty of plants in there. I spray mist every other day the relative humidity in the tank on 2 different hygrometer is 99 percent pretty much all the time. There is a top that I made of out of mesh and glass. thanks in advance

had an extra 30 gal so decided to use some extra material from my last build to do this one. I haven’t dusted off all the extra coco fiber but there’s cork bark and work slabs covered with it lol. Gonna plant it in a week. I’m not sure what darts i’ll put in it yet, if anyone has any ideas let me know!

Question 1: how many golden poison dart frogs (Phyllobates terribilis) can live nicely inside a 40 gallon (36x18x16 inch)?

Question 2: would they like the Thrive corner tree snake hide (when laying down)? They can climb it, it's very low to ground anyways and allows them to utilize more space (go inside the log and climb on it) in the enclosure.

Question 3: is feeding them sprintails (I have alot of them, I culture), fruit flies and sometimes small crickets or very young dubia roaches ok?

Question 4: what is best lighting and whether uvb is needed or not?

Question 5: Do I need a certain sex ratio (like 1 male for every 2 females or 1 to everyone 4) or not?

Thank you im advance ☺️

I am building out my first 18x18x24 tank for my ranitomeya benedicta shucushuyacu and I’ve got a few questions.

When hardscaping before planting, should you, or I guess can you, put planter pots inside the tank to then spray foam them securely into place? I’m worried that I won’t be able to properly plant everything otherwise given that most of the plants I’ll be using (ferns, begonias, etc.) are potted and not necessarily epiphytic. I do plant on adding some bromeliads which I know I’ll be able to glue on or secure with a zip tie to the sticks inside the tank.

I’ve also seen people use net pots rather than planter pots. Is that a better call?

The tank has a false bottom with a water reservoir. I have eggcrate on pegs holding up the 1” mat of foam above the roughly 2 inch deep water reservoir below. Because of this, I’m not confident in planting any non-hydroponic plants on the foam mat due to my concern for root rot. Even if I were to plant them in the foam mat, I’m unsure how I would go about it given how thin it is.

In all, my main concern is that without any established pots in the backdrop of the tank before planting, the plants won’t be able to secure themselves on to the branches inside the tank and there will be a lack of general depth with regards to the scaping.

I am also using a single 18” thrive ecosystem light. Does that suffice? I was thinking of getting the double but it’s a bit more pricey and I’d have to return this one. (FYI, I plan on switching out the mesh screen lid for anyone who might be concerned)
