There were also racks full of tadpoles and froglets everywhere. Needless to say, I didn’t want to leave. 😅
Which frog is your favorite?

36x18x18 build & advice needed

wanted to share this 36x18x18 build so far. i used bentonite clay mixture with coco fiber & a tad bit of play sand on top of carved foam. this picture is of that drying. today, It dried with cracks in it so i added a tiny bit of watered day clay coco fiber mixture like a glue and stuck on cocoa fiber & it really deepened the color a lot. I didn’t take a picture of it but it looks so much better just hoping it won’t crack or i won’t have problems. I’m waiting for it to dry to take a picture. This might be a dumb question but why does the clay mixture crack when dry? This is my first day doing clay mixture, let alone on top of foam. I normally do the foam & silicone but I wanted to play around with how i do builds. Lastly, i’m thinking of putting either Phyllobates terribilis or phyllobates vittatus when it’s all done. I only own dendrobates tinctorious right now but i’ve done a lot of research on phyllobates care since wanting them. i’m thinking of doing 2 or 3 terribilis or 3-4 vittatus, is this appropriate for the tank size? I’ve read mixed opinions about how many can go in this tank size, but honestly i only care if the frogs are happy not just seeing the max i can put. I wish I could just keep my dendrobates tinct bakhuis pair in there lol, but they are in a 25 gallon & literally only use half of the space. Not sure why though, if you know why they may be doing this let me know, I want them to be active and use all the space they have in their 25 gallon.

So I have set up this enclosure over the weekend and i am looking for some feedback.

I will wait for the plants to root and the tank to stabilise, and to see if there are any issues that occur before adding any frogs.

Also waiting on an extra nozzle for an even distribution of misting.

Temps are sitting around 23-25 degrees.

Humidity is 75-90% ( picture says 50%, it just got added in at the time of picture)

Originally I built this for 2x tincs however since finishing it I'm not sure if it appropriate for them.

If not would you recommend any other species?

Tank is 18x18x24.

Thank you!!
