Christmas monies... Dart frogs!

[ipreferaflan]

I've decided I fancy some dart frogs next... Not entirely sure which ones, as there are SO many to choose... but hey! I've gotta let the viv grow first anyway.
If anyone's got any pictures of their own set-ups and can give me any advice then I'd be real grateful.
Also, are there any species I should avoid as a beginner to dart frogs?
Cheers guyyyys!

this is my terribiis viv, has a sloping floor with a pool along the front, there is a heat mat on the side, which is only rarely on, the lighting is a 2 and 5% uv, a fan comes on every hour or so and blows warm air into the tank from under the light hood, temp is 23-24 in the day and 19 at night

I'm told auratus are good beginner's frogs. The biggest issue seems to be sufficient food!

That looks nice. What size is it and how many are in there?

I love the blue/bronze morphs and the green/black.

Its about 2 foot long and about 18 inches deep, there are 4 in there.

That amount would do me.
Can you use clearseal tanks, or should you use something like an exo terra?
Cheers for your help.

I have another viv for more darts and its an exo terra, its a good tank, but i far prefer the purpose built dart viv and it was about the same price.

it would be great for darts that need fruit flies or micro crix as food as there is nearly zero chance of them escaping.

I've got lots of different auratus, got the black and green, the blue and black and the bronze and green getting some leucs this week!! can't wait.

this is one of my tanks, the rest are pretty similar!
