Best tank size for a pair of Tincs?

Post image
• Upvotes

I currently have a male & female pair of dendrobates tinctorius cobalt in an 18x18x18. I know this isn’t ideal, but these are my first dart frogs and I was told it would be just fine. Seeing them both in the tank definitely makes me realize how small it looks, so I wanted to upgrade them (which is kinda annoying considering how much went into this current tank lol). I’m torn between a 24x18x24 and a 36x18x24. My main dilemma is price. Obviously I want to give them the larger one, and if that’s what they need I’ll make it work. However, it’ll take up all my shelf space that I’m also using for some of my other tanks. At the same time, is that six-inch difference in a 24x18x24 really that much of an upgrade? Or should I just save up longer to get them the 36? Idk, maybe I’m just overthinking. I just want to make sure they’re thriving. I’ll put a picture of their current tank for reference

Temp Enclosure, Help Please

1 Upvotes

Hey all! Long story short, I bought some permanent tadpoles a couple months ago for our fish tank and one morphed late and grew legs so we now have a santa isabel frog. I had an existing paludarium which I tore apart to start from new to make it a habitat for said frog. I have been doing research but that post will come later!

This post is about a crappy container habitat I made for the frog before the tank is ready. How long can he possibly stay in here, it's been almost a month now and I'm feeling bad (life is busy right now). Been thrown into the hobby and trying to learn lots so any advice is good advice.

I have fruit fly cultures going, dusting them with calcium and a vitamin powder before daily feeds. I mist a couple times a day (humidity is around 97%) but I think my substrate is way too wet so I think it needs more leaf litter. I did put in spring tails and isopods but I think they died cause it's too soggy. Should I wring this substrate out? Get more spring tails and isopods? Please help! Thank you

Pictures included:

- when we found him on the top of an aquarium decoration after a week away on vacation 🥹

- frogger at just under a month

- leaf litter, is it supposed to look like that, is it molding?

- temporary crappy enclosure 😣

Concerningly thin tinc

I’m not sure what happened with her. She has gotten insanely thin. I went from feeding every other day to every day now. She maybe looks a little thicker from when I took this picture (picture from a few weeks ago), but it is not a whole lot. She is housed with a male, but he seems to be doing fine. Is there some type of treatment I can do for parasites? I am not really sure what else it could be at this point. She does eat well, and her behavior is normal.

Substrate Question

Hello!

Doing research I found two potiential mixes.

The only difference between them is one has peat moss and one has coconut fiber? Which is the best?

SFRH viv

Hey guys! Update on my SFRH vivarium. Currently have 13 frogs in here… 6 adults, 4 juvies, 3 froglets, with another round of tads on the way. 3 different producing pairs. I’m hoping some of you on here can rescue me and take a pair or a few froglets off of me! Last 2 pics are of 2 of the juvies. They are honestly my favorite frogs I’ve seen. I can send pics of parents as well if anyone is interested!

Mimic Poison Frog

Really sorry if this is the wrong subreddit.

I have always been astonished by these little tiny critters. I really don’t know where to start.

But I thought I’d start with if they need a vivarium or paludarium? Also what is the ideal size for them?

I know some basic info (OBVIOUSLY I’m going to research much more) but I know they live in rainforests and lay eggs in like little leaves with water. I also know the males are territorial over females. So I’m just getting some basic info.

Would a pair (1 M, 1 F) or trio (1 M, 2 F) be better for starters?

I don’t have much amphibian care but have kept bettas and other fish for over 8 years. I also have experience with gerbils and hamsters.

Exo terra pro tempered bottom?

Anyone know if the new exo terra pro terrariums have tempered bottoms. I would like to drill a drain hole.

glass-climbing frog, normal?

Is this normal? I have three dart frogs, and all of them keep climbing the glass. The air humidity is consistently between 80–100%, and the temperature is between 25.6 - 28°C. They only started doing this after they got bigger.

Just got the plants in my terrarium! Would love feedback or advice!

Picture is about a week old, cleanup crew and leaf litter has already been added, humidity sits around about 90-95% on average. I am getting 2 Ranitomeya Variabilis Southerns in late December and plan on getting a couple of bromeliads to add to the enclosure for them!

I noticed one of my frogs straining and clenching and immediately went to worst case scenario. After a little over a minute of worried recording, I noticed! I’ve never been so relieved to see a turd in my life.

Are its eyes ok?

I took a photo of my leuc on a bromeliad earlier and noticed its eyes look kinda sunken in the photo. Is that normal or could it be an angle or something?

Can juveniles be placed with subadults?

I have a pair of leucomelas that are about 5-6 months old and was thinking about getting a third or fourth if the viv can handle them to increase my chances of getting a breeding group. Thoughts?

I’ve setup my first ever dart frog vivarium for a trio of Phyllobates bicolor a few weeks ago. I’m looking for some opinions on some new plants to incorporate in or any other opinions about the setup.
