Is this dart frog viv acceptable?
Seen this video on youtube & wondered surely thats not a recommended setup,
 theres at least 4 different species in there that we can see. Azzures, leucs, terribilis (I think) and 1 other species I'm not familiar with. I mean surely the viv would have to be HUGE to be acceptable & give each species enough territorial space. Anyways link to vid - YouTube - Poison Dart Frogs catch and eat fruit flies and crickets

Nope your correct that is deffinatley not right. Them species should not be housed together.

true its not a good move if you are trying to breed, but when it comes to bullying and fighting this can go on with two males and two female. i my self have kept a few mixed tanks with no problem

Mixed in itself isn't a problem with darts, with a large tank I reckon a ground dweller like Terribilis can be kept with an arboreal dart like Pumilio. 4 species like in the vid seems a bit much, especially with such a small Azureus.

There are many reasons why this set up is wrong, just to list a few....
There is a high potential for cross breeding, which is highly un-ethical. There is a high potential for bullying. 2 Tincs aganst each other is fair odds, but a P. terribilis Vs a juvenile Tinc or a Leuc is highly unfair. It is hard to comment fully as this may be a 2x3x6 foot set up, but as a general rule the video and the husbandry is all wrong. What mixed tanks have you kept in the past? any pics?
