    internal filters work too, you could work it out to look like a little waterfall over the rocks if positioned good enough.

    I was thinking the same. I think a 40gb will be ideal for the set up. I'll slope sand up to one side and have driftwood everywhere with slate. I would also keep some puffers since this is brackish. I think I'll look into dwarf Indian mudskippers since they are more peaceful.

    maybe you could find some smaller water lilies so that if the dart frogs were to fall, they would at least have the platform to get back to the rocks or branches etc. poison dart frogs lay eggs in the water collected in the bromeliad flower leaves. if they do breed, the bromeliads would be a beautiful and useful touch. heres a picture!

    poison dart frogs are so cool and i would not recommend fire belly toads if they are near a bed room because they make a lot of noise!

    good luck! keep posting pics when you decide to do what ever you do.


    finally >>>>>keep a tight lid!!!!!!! because dogs would love to eat your multi-colored squirmy treats which would be the end of both pets. !!!!!

    good luck
