yeah the frogs are cool, but can we take a moment to appreciate all the plant diversity in the tanks ? :D alocasias, philos, calatheas/marantaes, begonias, lots of mosses etc, it is really refreshing to see this instead of the classic green pothos. AND OMG you have some macodes petola

[@TCSDartFrogs]

haha thank you! Yes I too appreciate plants and plan to collect many more and get better at growing the ones I do have. Thank you for noticing the plant diversity.

[@neckarratte1375]

@Jamey Craig Hello, I also hold dartfrogs. only with youngsters it does not want to work so well. do you keep your dartfrogs rather damp or dry? outside of the mating season. at oophaga bastimentos it just does not work. 1 man and two women in an 80s terrarium. with bromeliads, fern etc. the system sprays three times a day for 15 seconds. do you have a tip for me? greetings from Germany

Had I not fallen for the aquarium hobby, I would've had a room like this too.

[@TCSDartFrogs]

So the question is do you have a room like this full of aquariums?

@@Jmb905 Ok right on! Phyllobates vittatus are a great beginner frog that breed easily, Epipedobates anthonyi are also good and very easy to breed. Dendrobates leucomelas are in my opinion the best beginner frog but they are a bit more sporadic breeders. Dendrobates tinctorius are also great starter frogs just best to keep them in sexed pairs as adults.

new to the hobby i noticed almost all the tanks are mixed but everything ive read says to keep them all seperate

[@TCSDartFrogs]

It is always best to keep separate tanks for each species and locale. I keep mixed tanks for young frogs but once they are of breeding age I make sure they are separated. I also keep a close eye on them all to make sure they are not bullying each other.

Thank you for the tour! As enjoying the video haha. I noticed that you don't use any soil kinda substrate. Will frogs do okay with pebble? Subsrate? Do you need to wash them regularly? Thank you! Just wondering hehe

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Thanks for the question! Some tanks I do have a substrate layer and other tanks I just have grow stones/clay balls with a layer of sphagnum and some leaf litter on top of that. I find that the substrate is really for the plants and many tropical species of plants will happily grow on a bed of sphagnum with a drainage layer below. You don't need to wash them regularly because the frog waste breaks down with misting into nutrients for the plants.

How do you keep that many in a 10 gallon on josh’s frogs they said only 2 dart frogs per 10 gallons

[@flo6097]

Its also really different depending on where you live how they recommend keeping them. Here in Germany you would probably getting kicked out of community chats if you would keep darts in an aquarium. 10 gallons per frog and double vent is the minimum here for tincs.

[@carlcook6615]

I have a 30 gallon tank for 2 adult Tincs.10 gallon for that amount of frogs,especially to help restrict bullying seems not enough to me.

[@e-lorrainejohnson7339]

Hi 👋 super new frog mom here I have a few questions I just got 2 blue azureus arrow frog recently and I don’t know how often to feed them ? Also they have a daytime and a heats lamp on them at night I only leave the heat lamp on is that right or should I turn both off ? Also for humidity do I need a device to keep it humid or should I just spritz them with water 2 times a day ?

[@TCSDartFrogs]

I don't want to sound harsh but these are really things you should have researched before purchasing the frogs, that being said they don't need the heat lamp at night unless it is getting colder than 60 degrees in your house. They should be fed every day to every other day if they are still young as they go through a crucial growth period where they need lots of food. As far as humidity that depends on a lot of other factors as to how often you should spray them, an automatic system is not necessary and you can spray them several times a day. They should just be kept humid and moist but the substrate should not be saturated.

[@donkeyfish99]

Their natural environment is much bigger so I'm sure they would appreciate a bigger tank they could be bored

[@taktlwg3144]

[@azeotrope87]

How do you have the time and energy to take care of all these frogs and tadpoles (I'm assuming you have a job, too)???? I work 12 hour days and I just about have enough energy to take of six tanks of frogs and you're taking care of waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more. Anyways, thanks for sharing these awesome frogs with us.

[@TCSDartFrogs]

I actually quit my day job about a year ago to pursue this full time, but I used to keep close to the same amount of frogs while working a 40hr work week. Once you've been doing it as long as I have it becomes second nature and it really isn't that hard to maintain.

[@mark87lsc1964]

Wow you have so much of Azures frog

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Yeah too many at times LOL but they are my favorites and so I have many breeding pairs.

[@forthcs]

Great vid. Do you run each wall of its own misting system? Curious how often/much do you mist?

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Thanks! I do run each wall off it's own system and each shelf is controlled by ball valves so I can mist each shelf individually. I usually mist once a day sometimes twice a day but I also let the tanks dry out if I see that they are too wet and will go several days without misting.

[@forthcs]

@@TCSDartFrogs How long do you typically mist for, on a 10g? I like the look of your tanks...just trying to get a feel of how much water you are running through them daily! Thanks!

[@TCSDartFrogs]

@@forthcs It really varies depending how wet the tanks are, I generally do about 10-30 seconds, but it's really gonna vary on a lot of factors like your ambient humidity where you live, the amount of ventilation on the tank, temperature, dimensions of the tank, how many plants are in the tank, depth of drainage layer, depth of substrate, whether you have an actual drain or not. So what works for me will most likely not work for most others.

[@forthcs]

@@TCSDartFrogs Absolutely agree, just trying to get a gauge. Keep the the vids, and I appreciate the responses!

[@TCSDartFrogs]

@@forthcs for sure

[@calebsfish]

Very nice! How do your plants not get root rot with the constant moisture?

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Many tropical plants can handle very wet conditions as long as they are getting adequate light in my experience and most my tanks are vented so they do get a chance to dry out a bit before the next misting.

[@phdgkos47952]

dang dude. what is the ratio that those froglets survive ??

If you ckme around to answering this, THANK YOU!

hey, I love your room tour video btw, and I have few questions 1. is it possible to put 1 green sipaliwini, 1 blue sipaliwini, 1 blue and black auratus and also 1 turquoise and black auratus in the same tank? if it's possible, which gender should i choose? 2. is it possible to pet them in a paludarium? thank you

I don't recommend it, it's not best to mix locales/species.

[@fraugladiator2370]

Wow so many frogs ! Beautiful ! But why they have no water were they can swim ?

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Thanks for the question! Dart frogs are terrestrial frogs and although many of my frogs do have water dishes to soak if they want to. They get most of their moisture from the humidity in the terrarium. They spend their time on the forest floor in Central and South America and spend very little time in water or swimming.

I’m setting up a 10 gal vertical and was planning to put a pair of thumbs in it. Do you have an opinion on which of yours are most bold and would be good first thumbs? I’m not sure if Santa Isabel’s would be better, but I think the Ranitomeya are more attractive.

[@TCSDartFrogs]

I probably wouldn't put Santa Isabels in a vertical tank as they tend to use more horizontal space, if you were to put Ranitomeya in there I would keep it to a pair and in my opinion R. imitator either the Green form, Varadero, or Yumbatos are all quite bold for me but there are other locales that I don't keep that could also do well including Chazuta, Baja Huallaga, Yurimaguas, and Tarapoto.

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Thanks! Great question! I would not recommend adding any more frogs to the tank. Azureus can be quite territorial as adults and 3-4 adults in a 20 gallon would likely not do well.

Poison dart frogs feel secure in tanks with algae cover, therefore unless for display breeders usually keep them in such setups. It acts like a curtain between tanks :)

Hey man I just stumbled across this video and I was just wondering is it okay to mix frogs like that? I don’t know frogs (I want to so badly) but from everything I’ve seen and read it’s not recommended to mix frog species in a tank. Could you shed some light on that? Thanks!

[@freddiechapman7312]

Kamron Seeram At least don’t mix sexes if you mix species so you don’t breed some mutts.

[@TCSDartFrogs]

Hey, great question! In general no it is best to keep every species separate. All of the frogs that are mixed are either too young to interbreed or be aggressive toward one another, or are different species which are unable to reproduce with one another. Another reason that they are mixed or overcrowded is because I am still building more tanks to accommodate the number of animals I have, I downsized from a larger room recently and am still producing lots of frogs so adjustments need to be made to house them all. That being said there are situations where mixing different species is ok I'll be doing a video on mixing here in the near future.
