Poison Dart Frog Vivarium Build! (With waterfall, mist, and fan!) 

❤

froggo loves you!

Thank you!! I started with aquariums as well!!

Thank you so much!! I’m still getting used to talking to the camera so that is very nice to hear!

Hi! I changed his diet around and he eats much more now! He’s even gotten pretty chunky!! Everyone’s been very helpful

I use pond and stone aquarium expanding foam! It’s for aquariums so it’s made to be safe for a variety of animals

Every week or so I top it off

Black foam sheet on amazon! When I get home I’ll double check the packaging and get the brand for you

Yo estoy buscando, pero todas tienen unas cubiertas de papel que supongo se estropearan con el agua

12x12x18 exo terra. A little over 10 gal i believe

Thanks! I culture them myself. I got the originals from a petco. Most petco or pet smart sell them. to culture them I make instant mashed potatoes and mix with a little bit of apple cider vinegar in the bottom of a deli cup. Then I add crumpled paper towels for them to live and walk on. Each culture lasts usually up to a month and I make a new one every 2 weeks.

I hooked my fogger up to a smart plug which was on a timer but also connected to alexa so I could turn it on while staring at the tank! I got my fogger on amazon for about $10-12. Just google mist-maker and one should come up. It gets hot so make sure it’s in an area your animals can’t reach. Good luck!

@@williamhoganson4995 thanks I’ll check it out.

I have only been keeping frogs 3-4 years so I’m by no mean an expert but have read in a few places that a fogger is bad for most dart frogs upper respiratory systems. Not sure the truth in that. I know auratus are one of the few species it’s recommended to have a water feature with so they maybe fine with a fogger.

Hi! It’s doing great! Posted an update video a few months ago. Still works well. The ceramic disks on the mistmakers do have a limited number of hours they can be used for so the mist maker won’t keep working for ever. On more recent tanks I’ve made it more accessible for repairs. On this tank I can’t replace it very easily with my frog hopping around, so whenever it stops working i’ll have to catch him while I swap that out.

glad you like it!! The water flows down the rocks and across the sticks in the bottom left! underneath the little ledge and along the lava rock. Hope that helps!! I have it so the water spreads out over most of that side but the flow is not as strong. This helps water all the different plants that grow along there!

it’s fully bioactive so i never need to clean it. If you want it to be removable, you can make the background on cardboard sheets and glue it to the glass

U clean with 99% alcohol

Thanks for your question! You can use any aquarium pump! I used one I got on amazon for $8.00 USD. Read the sizes carefully and don’t pick one that is too big for your particular setup! I usually get the smallest kind I can find because I use it more for aesthetics than circulation.

black foam core board! You can find it on amazon

no cleaning required!

thank you for everyone’s concern. I dont think he was eating enough. changed up his food and I think hes doing mucu better. will post an update

my gf has been saying this for YEARS. I will one day I swear. 1k sub special I get an Xacto.

@@williamhoganson4995 Lol, I'm here for it.

ok thanks!

12x12x18 in

thanks! Updates coming soon! It looks crazy now haha I love it. Creeping fig has covered all the walls

@William Hoganson dope! Planning my build out now. Curious as to how u did the waterfall and mist cup to run off one pump. Look forward to the update. U home now by any chance? 😂

@@brunobarz5443 I had the water pump go to a plastic cup. I recommend a Tupperware or something like that tho bc the curve became annoying to cut. Anyway as the pump flows it fills the cup until the cup overflows. I put the mist maker in the cup. The mist maker has to be submerged so i cut the out flow holes in the cup right above the height of the mist maker. That way the cup fills with water until the mistmaker is covered. Mist starts flowing, and the waterfall starts. takes a couple min after i plug it in to start but I leave the waterfall running 24/7 so not an issue. Hope that helps!

@@brunobarz5443 also feel free to hit me up on IG with any questions. Good luck on your build! IG: wills_scapes

Update is now up!!

usb cable

thanks for telling me! how can you tell? I feed him about 50 fruit flies a day and there’s usually leftover the next day. I also add springtails twice a week. Should I be supplementing or adding more? Thanks

@@williamhoganson4995 maybe he’s fine and I just can’t tell I asked Reddit and they seemed not to worry, didn’t mean to worry you man

@@ZestiFPV Okay I talked to some other frog keepers they say he seems good. He was younger in this video too so maybe thats it. He's about 2 now.

@@williamhoganson4995 he does seem a little skinny, it could be him not actually eating the frutflies you throw in there. Happened to me, they keep running away through the vents in this exo terra, the holes in the vent are a too big.

@@violetdawn7036 i’ve switched to soringtails way more frequently and that seems to help. not sure if he’s picky or if it’s what you said. when I feed fruit flies i typically find some leftover in the enclosure the next day

A water feature is a very bad idea in that tiny tank.
