Starting a Dart Frog Tank!

No miracle grow, no fertalizers, no chemicals, especially with amphibians, which will take in water (and therefore chemicals) throught their skin.

And what happened to the darts? Sorry bro, but it sounds like you're all over the place. I think you need put this project on the back burner for a while until you get this all straightened out.

Can i just use regular soil from the back yard then? If not why??

Because of the possibility of introducing pathogens, pests, chemicals (in the form of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides.) In addition, your local soil likely cannot sustain the plants that you want, while providing poor drainage and likely breaking down rapidly and molding.

Tree frogs really don't belong in anything less than a 20g. They are exceptionaly active after dark, so a 10g just won't provide nearly enough space to suite the animals' activity.

PLEASE do some research and really think carefully about your ability to really care for these animals.

Good luck.

IMO, the easiest amphibian to keep is the firebelly toad.
A 50/50 pauladarium is the best way to keep them, and there easy to breed if you can get ahold of a female.

How do you put coco fiber on the back round? I got the special glue thats for the back of terrariums and was wondering how do you put the coco fiber on the back? Do you wet it so i can puff up and all that stuff and put it on the glue while the coco fiber is wet, or wet it so it can puff up then put it out in the sun so it can dry up then put it on the glue?
