**froglover27** · 07-02-2011, 04:14 PM

Hi Im new to the forum

and I was looking for some helpful info on PDF
Also, I am wondering which plants are "a nice sight" but easily kept with PDFs.
Another thing is I would LOVE to keep moving water in my terrarium!

I have a 35G hexagon tank by the way(:
Thanks

Welcome To AC

Not much experience with the frogs but most sword plants can be grown partially emmersed. A powerhead with a hose that loops back to the other end of the tank would provide good flow or even create a small cascade or waterfall.

I hope this helps. Im sure another member with more experience on the topic will be along soon.

Pdf are not swimmers by a long shot. Make sure any water feature has areas for them to easily get out. The best plants for pdf vivs are coffefolia anubia for bigger plants. Pdf also like bromiliads. If you are not an experianced keeper of frogs,I really do not recomend pdf . They have a broad range of requirements that simply cannot be overlooked. Humidity,temp,specific dietary needs and supplements make pdf a critter for dedicated experianced keepers only.

The best frogs for first frogs are fire belly toads. They are very easy to keep and feed. A simple 10 gal with a combo of water and dry spots kept at around the mid 70s is the ticket for them. They are very hardy and will eat easy to buy crickets. Occasionally dust with calcimu powder and that's all that's needed. After them,tree frogs like whites then clowns or tiger legs then red eyes then pdf.

Hey everyone, if you interested in keeping dart frogs why not join the Dart Den forums? I'm a member there and have been helped considerably. I'm getting Dendrobates Leucomelas dart frogs on august 6th.
