How to set up Fine Spot Bumble Bee Dart Frog Bioactive Enclosure with SPOOKY SHROOMS!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey guys, I realized that LEUCOMELA was incorrectly spelled on the front image tag. Don't know how that happened but I changed it and should be good to go now. Thank you for those that brought it to my attention.

[@reageerbuisje5391]

there's actually an s on the end too, dendrobates leucomelas :P

[@ianmckinney1053]

It’s still wrong, it’s leucomelas regardless of singular or plural

[@Jordan_Richman]

Honestly this video just explained that bioactive vivariums have gotten more complex at home. This is awesome, I love all the potential for the best of the best healthy environments for these types of animals. Good job.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thank you for the support!

[@rogerstenstromk5mow715]

Really enjoyed this video with Chase. There is an amazing amount of great information on setting up a dart frog in closure. Absolutely an amazing build.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aliciadishman]

You engage me so much I can not get enough of you! I've watched 5yrs ago and current videos or 1yr Olds 😃. I ❤️ all the guests too!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your support!

[@OnefishTwofishROC]

This was absolutely fascinating! The two of you play off each other very well!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ianjennings2595]

Wow this is probably the best build video i have ever seen for Dart frogs. Took so much information and knowledge from both of you. Thank you

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Glad it helped! I appreciate your feedback! 👍🏻

[@kmcnamee88]

I was contemplating raising dart frogs in the new terrarium in my classroom, but I had no idea how to accomplish a healthy bioactive vivarium. Now that the 2 of you spoke nerdy to me, I am convinced this shall be my next pet project! Loved all the biology vocab y'all taught to your viewers too! 💯 A+

[@shred1]

Great video, Chase is the man!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

No doubt!

[@jahoot5545]

Nice y’all are In the Halloween spirit

[@kwvintorina]

The guy looks like thick mr beast

[@loispadgett6306]

I love the yellow and black dart frogs there set up is amazing. Maybe someday will get some and now know more about the set-up for them thank you for that. GOD BLESS 🐸💖🐸💖🐸💖

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

They are super cool!

[@sarahwinans8415]

I love the mushrooms! Gotta get some of those 🙂

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

So cool right? We are working with Chase to make them available on our channel, but in the meantime you can check them out here: houstonfrogs.com/shop/ols/products/mosasaurus-dinosaur-skull-model-mss-dns-skl-mdl11

[@ronalbanesi1594]

Awesome video cool dart frogs 🐸 the tanks look good with the way u set it up God bless and keep the videos coming

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thanks, you too!

[@nnaughton8794]

It is cool that the dart frogs are the pictures on the biodegradables

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

The dude abides by cool photos !

[@reageerbuisje5391]

Great tank! Although IMO you should try and cover the whole substrate in a nice thick layer of leaf litter, and no ground covering plants. Everyone has different ideas though!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Great idea. I do agree with you. I could have added more leaves on the base and not just mixed in.

[@marc6016]

Needs way more leaf litter.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

I should have more on the top, TBH! I mixed a bunch into the soil etc but you are right, the darts love a hearty layer on the top to create feeding opportunities and retreats.

[@mellewedin8221]

The plants alone will also filter the water in the tank as well. I have been learning a lot about vivariums terrariums and such. Lol I think though I am going to go with a pack man frog. They seem less complicated to care for. I am not lazy, just never owned a land dwelling frog. I own and breed fully aquatic frogs. African Dwarf Frogs.

[@therealleesmillard]

Great video guys! I've watched this a few times. One question I have is how many 6 quart bags of Hydrogrow v2 do I need for the 18x18x24 Frogs & Co tank? You had it already in the black bucket and didn't mention it. Thanks!

[@paranorman1646]

i would love a setup video of african dwarf frogs

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey there, due to the dwarfs (also called claw toed frogs) being high carriers of the chytrid fungus, we avoid them as much as possible to minimize risk. it would be a good blog post idea!!! **adds claw toed frogs to blog list** lol - Support

[@TeamRocket301]

Sugoiii

[@robertmccain7344]

Hey Guys, are those glow mushrooms available for purchase?

[@mariyabaileys]

Can you combine the bio shot with the Beneficial Microbial Inoculant from Houston frogs 🐸, thanks

[@ryanca530]

Why do you look to the right all the time? Great video and I’m subscribed just wondering if there’s a whiteboard over there with notes or what’s going on?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Don’t use notes it’s all upstairs lol I’m always watching / looking

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Force of habit and general motions, the store is also open and the videos are recently filmed in the main part of the shop, which happens to look directly at the counter and office lol

[@PsyCodeqz]

is there anyway to use this type of terranium to capture fruit flys that may be in the house for the frogs to eat?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

IF ONLY! what a good idea it would be to get rid of them lol ! there would be parasitic issues to worry about from the wild flies as a food source. There seems to be a few reasons as to why captive breeding works best with flightless fruit flies as a food source for the frogs.

[@WadeRose]

Hey Josh I am a long time fan can you please do a gargoyle gecko setup

[@Tropical_Fauna_Offical]

josh what do i do my adult female milk frog isnt eating what should i do

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Email our customer care team and they can do their best to see if they can assist, but we always recommend having a relationship with a veterinarian that way when you have questions you have someone with an established relationship with your animal that can help you out. Either way, feel free to email us and we will do our best to help you out! [e-mail]

[@sdqsdq6274]

so weird , mine Selaginella keeping dying off , dont they like humid set up ?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

They need good airflow. They dry up = not enough moisture. They turn black and rot = not enough airflow/too much moisture. Its all in the balance : )

[@jahoot5545]

Also here’s a joke what does a haunted place sound like. It’s dead silent

[@macksir8938]

Sheesh only took a long time to do a drat frog tank sheeesh

[@sdqsdq6274]

of course dude, u need to scape it , not just dump everything in

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

instructional videos take longer to film while describing all the things! - The dude abides by in depth informational videos

[@lunytunez3634]

you own joshs frogs?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Negative.

[@christopherhowe1115]

How do you actually make the clay culture?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We will do a video for you soon!

[@Salamanders1018]

Using a plastic bag just to mix substrate seems a bit wasteful

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We are open to suggestions for more sustainable packaging.

[@tavozuniga7364]

@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Hello Josh I have a quick question how many quarts of substrate should I use for a 48x24x48 enclosure I want at least 5 or 6 inches deep?
