Hey everyone, i finally got my frogs today. They are hopping around and eating some crickets. I have some pictures of them and the tank. Chronicfatigue, i followed what you said and got sphagnum moss covering the gravel, another bromeliad and a bunch of pothos. There are 3 frogs (dendrobates leucomelas) sry I have not been spelling that name right :P ma bad, anyways, here are the pictures, there is also a pic of my male leopard gecko, right after it shed a few nights ago, and a pic of my newt's tank which I recently put the finishing touches on.....
(newts will be in as soon as I find a good source)

thank you very much, i have lots of pride in these frogs. I just still can't believe that I have some! I have always just been like "wow they are soo pretty" and stuff but I have never had some myself. Now that I do, it's cool to have people say that about MY frogs :P

that is a bromeliad, i have really gotten into those lately, really pretty plants and perfect for dart frogs b/c they lay their eggs in the water that collects in the leaves. I was just lucky enough to find a whole shelf full of different types of bromeliads today at lowes (gotta love lowes :P ). I bought so many, that I had to choose between them b/c my tank is not big enough to have all of them they are soo pretty too, oh well lol

Looks good! Just add a peice of driftwood or a few rocks and I think you'll be all set. I like the sphangum alot better too and Im sure the frogs do as well. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask!

well, i like the corkbark, but other than that, i think I am pretty much all set as it is. A few rocks will be great, unfortunatly, buying the frogs, habitat, and fruit flies left me pretty much broke until further notice (or I get birthday money from the other side of the family but until then, the tank shall remain the way it is , which is not too bad, i think it looks pretty good Driftwood will be great in the near future, and i'd like to put some java moss on it to make it look natural. Thank ya'll for everything especially you chronic, all of the replies have truly made a difference in my experience and i'm sure the frogs are happier with the differences made b/c of the suggestions.

thank ya'll again,

No problem Bud! It does look good, like a little peice of the tropics in your bedroom. Driftwood and rocks can be collected from outside as long as you make sure everything is legit (no stealing from the neighboors ). Theres alot of dead space that your frogs would love to use.

Java moss would probably work, however it is an aquatic plant, it does best submerged underwater or constantly moist. However, if you get it to grow it will spread like a weed!

well, i was looking at black jungle's website, www.blackjungle.com and i'm thinkin about buying some live moss from them, the "gold tip" moss is something I was looking at, what do you think? I want something that will grow directly on the cork bark if possible, but if it won't then that's fine. I just think that some live moss would be great, and as soon as the pothos fills out the tank, i think the "dead space" will be no more. If you could check out that site and tell me which one you think would be best, i'd like to order some.

Thanks,

I don't know if a selaginella species will do well in the gravel substrate. I have some growing like a weed but I have a nutrient rich substrate that is constantly moist. I would email him a pic of the setup and the specs (specifically lighting), and ask him what he thinks would do best. I have never done business with him but I understand that he is a reputable dealer.

Creeping fig will grow in the gravel and attach itself to the cork bark but that won't do much good if its laying down. What you could do is take the cork bark and position it so that it divides the enclosure and makes an elevated ledge. You could plant creeping fig at the base and it will grow up the cork bark. And the top ledge could hold some pothos that will grow down into the rest of enclosure, just an idea .
