Overall very cool, and impressive results. I went with a similar style of false bottom (just with dropped ceiling egg crate) but my next one will be more traditional because I found the springtails can't get through the weed block fabric and even if I had used window screen there's no gravel or hydroton for them to colonize. I did use the exact same mini egg crate aquarium divider for the back panel I built the foam and bark structure on, so it's possible to change it when I redo the tank in a couple of years or whatever. Not trying to sound hypercritical, I understand you did the false bottom that way to accommodate the water feature with the minimal amount of grit getting down to the pump level.
@alternateaquatics
@alternateaquatics 2 месяца назад
Hey thanks really glad you enjoyed it! I had thought about that, but since I had to cut into the divider fabric and added the black lava rock around the water feature….they have access to water and even all the way to the false bottom. I’ve seen them down there through the glass 👀

Is there a viable thing to feed them aside from fruit flies? I tried those little monsters once and they had escapees and some even developed the ability to fly. I really want poison dart frogs again, but I don't think it's possible unless there's something else that they can reliably eat. (Pinhead crickets are also out of the question. Their parents die way too fast and the development cycle is too long.)
@alternateaquatics
@alternateaquatics Месяц назад
Yeah they’re unfortunately a staple to their diet. I also feed them springtails and mini purple isopods. If you cycle your fruit fly cultures you can avoid them growing wings. However there will always be escapes lolb

Love the plant variety and all the space available for your new friends! I do wonder how you're gaining access to the pump for service and cleaning. Probably from above? Have you encountered any issues like algae build-up? I've built two fully bioactive enclosures with misting systems. I've wanted to build a vivarium with a water feature for a long time but I worry about the amount of time that could go into maintenance. Some months, my freshwater aquarium requires a good deal of maintenance. It depends on the shrimp population. When their numbers naturally dip, I have to take the pump apart for regular cleaning so it continues to function properly. Rather than just maintaining the water and external filter system. I'd like to know the realistic maintenance time so I don't take on more than what is practical. Working full-time and and caring for 10 enclosures, plus my cricket, dubia, isopod, and springtail colonies is currently manageable. I do worry about taking on something that requires more time than I planned for, leaving less time to give the rest of my critters the proper care they deserve.
@alternateaquatics
@alternateaquatics 21 день назад
Hey thanks for stopping by! I haven’t had to do any maintenance on it yet. I’ve had the one for a year. I think the small snails I have in the water keeps the algae down. Also I’m not adding any food to the water so there’s less nutrients for algae growth

I love your work!! How many frogs max would one put in a space that size. Also, do all poisonous dart frogs have to be the same variety or can you have multiple breeds in a space like that? I am not sure breed is the correct term, please correct me if I am mistaken. Thank you
@alternateaquatics
@alternateaquatics 25 дней назад
Hey thanks a lot!! The amount of frogs you can keep together really depends on the species. There’s a lot of different ones with different needs for size and tank mates. I would not recommend mixing different locals/species. A big risk is they will bully each other or inbreed.

Hey, to get the water to drain back into the pump, do you just have the entire bottom layer of foam filled with enough water? Or do you have it flow back towards the pump from the pond somehow? This has been my dilemma.

They get the alkaloids to produce their poison from the various insects they eat in the wild. Captive darts are completely safe.
@ego_death_
@ego_death_ Месяц назад
in nature yes, in captivity no. their toxins are derived from their diet, so unless youre feeding them poisonous insects itll be fine. they still should not be handed bare handed preferably because of how our skin oils interact with the frogs
