@@ToxicTerrariums Awesome to hear, thanks man!

@@cyphercracker Yes it is indeed!

Not sure which one you’re referring to (could perhaps be Begonia prismatocarpa, Peperomia emarginella och Ficus pumila Quercifolia), but I mention the name of every single plant in my collection in my video ”My entire vivarium plant collection”

@Tropical_Tutorials thanks it was Ficus pumila Quercifolia :)

På svenska jungfrugecko (vetenskapliga namnet på alla djur jag nämner står i videon). Värt att nämna att de inte bör gå med tumnaglar (de kan försöka äta eller skada grodan) eller de glupskaste arterna (främst P. terribilis som är glupska nog för att ge sig på en jungfrugecko; intressant nog är dock de jämnstora D. tinctorius inte alls lika glupska så det brukar funka)

@Tropical_Tutorials Tackar,riktigt bra videos,massa goa tips

It might not be impossible in a huge vivarium, but I wouldn't recommend it, due to their different temperature and humidity requirement. You'd need to make room for both microclimates There are some cases where small Phelsumas have successfully cohabitated with dart frogs but it's not as safe as widely tried and tested as dart frogs with mourning geckos. In general, there's a saying that "if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't mix species" which probably applies

Nevermind, I just saw that you wrote thumbnail dart frogs (I was imagining some medium-large dart frog species). I would absolutely not try or recommend that, since the size difference would very likely lead to an incident (the geckos attempting to eat the frogs)

@@CJoefarhat I’ll definitely do like a 1 year update or something to show how it’s growing in, and this year’s collection tour is coming out in a few days so you’ll see it then too. But in terms of how I’m planting them in the foam, it’s literally just making a cut and squeezing it in like I show in the video

Great! Look forward to it !

@@antwilon5699 If you mean inches, yes it would be suitable for around four. If it’s centimeters, it’s not big enough for a single one.

Dart frogs can be kept solo, however they tend to be more active in pairs/groups, and in general, with most of the species that can be kept in groups, it'll be more fun to keep them that way in my personal opinion

@@johnjackaman2040 no, I haven’t. I know daphnia is sometimes used though

My room basically never drops below 19 degrees, and usually stays around 22-26 during the day depending on the time of the year. The vivariums get a tiny bit of spill heat from the lighting (and they also contain some slightly cooler, more humid micro climates in them). 16 degrees seems unusually cold unless you're keeping them in a basement or something. I generally think heating the room is better than heating the individual tank, both because the temperature will be less prone to fluctuations and because you won't get as much condensation on the glass as you would if the outside of the tank is colder than the inside. That said, if you just have to raise it a few degrees, you can use a heat pad or something (but make sure it doesn't overheat; a little too cold is better than a little too hot)

@Tropical_Tutorials Thank you for your reply 👍 We heat the house with a fuel oil stove. It is only turned on when we are at home of course so the temp fluctuates quiet a bit. Heating were I live has become very expensive so we are getting solar panels and heat pumps to get a better solid temp in the house at the moment now so hopefully this will give the vivarium a better climate because this is holding me back to start a vivarium.

@@heatherwilliams3160 i either use Euro Style tanks or Exo terras

@@nathanmoros9207 Hygrolon is my favorite. I tank more about how and why I use it in part 4 of my series Vivarium Rebirth. I do also like cork panels though, which I showcase in “How to Set Up a Dart Frog Vivarium”. Never use coco fiber carpet! It breaks down very quickly and it also has weird water transporting properties that make it tough for many plants to grow on it

@@Tropical_Tutorials Thank you - checking out those other videos

You're totally right. This is an old video, worded quite poorly, and I'm planning to remake it in the near future, but what I usually say (and I said something like that in this video too) is that you should avoid substrate mixes that consist of large portions of sphagnum moss (and/or coco fiber). A bit of it mixed into your substrate can be fine, and it releases some nutrients when it starts breaking down, but if you use a substrate that consists of 50% sphagnum and/or coco fiber, it probably won't be too successful.

I ended up doing 4 mm thick glass. Always use float glass, not tempered glass (which shatters into a thousand pieces if it breaks)

Yeah, I used to primarily keep tarantulas before I switched over to dart frogs in 2019. This channel used to be called Tarantula Nest and only consist of tarantula feeding compilations lol

All the cups are plastic, I've never used glass cups. However, I recently started cleaning them out and washing them, since single-use plastic cups are being banned in the EU. It's quite easy to just scoop out the goo and clean the cup with warm water and dish soap.

Don't think I'd mix species in such a small tank. I'd consider it in a 18x18x36 or preferably a 24x18x36 or bigger. Not saying it'd be impossible but I definitely wouldn't recommend going smaller, especially if you're new to the hobby, for a mixed tank.

@@Tropical_Tutorials Thank you so much! This is great info and I'll definitely wait for a larger tank to mix species!

It sounds reasonable in a large vivarium. However, I recently kept a holdback leucomelas female with my breeding group of Ranitomeya variabilis (I probably incorrectly call them amazonica in this video, but since 2022 the populations from French Guiana and eastern Brazil belong to variabilis) for about 6 months or so. During that time, I got no viable eggs at all from the variabilis, as they were presumably eaten or destroyed by the leucomelas female (they are notorious egg eaters, which seems to expand to different species eggs as well). I even found some remains of eggs that had been destroyed. As soon as I removed and sold the leucomelas about 2 months ago, I started getting clutches again. I don't think I'll try this combination again for this reason.

@ Thanks for your reply. I already have a couple of auratus and still learning from them. My terrarium is 90x45x45 cm… pretty big for this 2 little fellows but I don’t want to take a step until I am sure and more skilled with them. Thanks again!

Jag kör mina i 30x30x30 typ första halvåret som jag visar mot slutet av videon. I början kan det räcka med ännu mindre, exempelvis när de är helt nyuppstigna räcker en godislåda eller liknande första veckan, och de kan bo ganska tätbefolkat som små, men sen tycker jag att man behöver mer plats åt dem (minst ca 30-kub de första 6-9 månaderna och sedan gärna större)
