Vivarium Update!!

Very nice, what type of moss is that on the substrate?

(hint for other people considering frogs in vivs - which i recommend! Just toooooo cool) using a false bottom will help keep the viv ~clean. The misting of the plants washes particles through the substrate where the soil/plant than use the waste products from the frogs as a natural fertilizer. In the case of dart frogs (which like said eat fruit flies) it is also great to add spring tails and other isotopes to the vivarium to create a working eco system. The spring tails eat and thrive of decaying matter and they are nice little treats for the dart frogs.

It's frog moss and coco soft - but I'm not keeping frogs right now...the red eyed is MIA and I think I'll just keep fish in the "lagoon" and keep it simple.

UPDATE to the UPDATE....

My Pleur grobyi has 4 spikes and I've only had it since 2/19!!!

Thats cool. Yeah have used the frog moss in a few vivs (including my whites tree frogs viv) You should look into a monkey tree frog, they dont get to big, and would love that viv...
