Default How may Terribilis in...

A 75Gallon tank?

Think I've decided on a dart to go for, whenever I get around the finishing the set up, just needs lighthoods and planting. I like the fact I can rely on small crickets should any fruit flie cultures fail.

You could have loads in there, easily 6 or 7. The height doesn't matter because these guys really are terrestrial frogs, and they do get on fairly well in groups, just be careful of water bodies as Ive never know a dart frog drown as easily as this one, i think its just their size and weight, they seem to struggle to pull themselves out of water.

Cool, cheers. I don't think I'll stock as many as that, perhaps 4/5.

I was going to avoid a water area completely, I see it as just wasted ground space tbh.

Sounds good, little coco dishes for the water is enough

These guys will climb as high as 18" if they are in the mood, but the height will be nice to have a lovely growing wall to frame them

They're also partial to bean weevils on occaision, firebrats and woodlice

Yep theyll pretty much eat anything, there probably the most fun Dart to watch feeding.

They're still my favourite species, so much attitude and character

The only thing I've ever offered that they just wouldn't keep down or learn to like was dermestid larvae, they give it a good go though! Before spitting it back up with a look of disgust haha

They sound like the ones to go for then.

Woodlice take a while to culture I've heard?

Been Weevils are very crunchy.

A herd look great, what colour are you thinking of, mint are awesome. Woodlice do take a while, nothing happens for ages them the culture just explodes!
