I Built A Poison Dart Frog Habitat (With Water Fall!)

I Built A Poison Dart Frog Vivarium Out of This Empty Terrarium.

#poisondartfrog #bioactive #vivarium

Here is all the materials I used and where I got them

The plants at the bottom of the water feature:

Josh’s frogs lighting -

Oak leaf litter -

Josh's Frogs ABG Mix Tropical Plant Soil & Terrarium Vivarium Substrate (4 Quart/1 Gallon

Great stuff expanding foam pond safe -

Creation Cultivated - 10ct Orange Springtails Live -

Seiryu Rock Stone

Ada Amazonia aquarium fertilizer

Need more footage of them jumping around and being happy in that awesome home they have!

This tank came out EPIC! Love the planted moss. I’ve been trying this for years and can never get it to grow….

[dennisschuler-luim]

absolutely love this build!
i really want to create my own poison dart frog vivarium with a water fall but im so scared to mess it up lol

[borisliverten]

i love the waterfall slow drip effect!

Great build! I love dart frogs!
When I get a bigger space they'll be top of my list!

[SwissFrogGuy]

Building water features are so fun! Easiest to do in an enclosed aquarium!

[REOROOFS]

The waterfall is an awesome feature, when are we going to get to see some frog eggs and tadpoles!

this is my favorite poison dart frog vivarium build!

What a perfect mini ecosystem poison dart frogs are amazing

So much knowledge on these. the pet store was no help whatsoever and just handed me fruitflies and said good luck. Now with the knowledge u gave I have a bunch of work to do to try and save the frogs I have from certain impending doom. Great video and beautiful build

Overall very cool, and impressive results. I went with a similar style of false bottom (just with dropped ceiling egg crate) but my next one will be more traditional because I found the springtails can't get through the weed block fabric and even if I had used window screen there's no gravel or hydroton for them to colonize. I did use the exact same mini egg crate aquarium divider for the back panel I built the foam and bark structure on, so it's possible to change it when I redo the tank in a couple of years or whatever.
Not trying to sound hypercritical, I understand you did the false bottom that way to accommodate the water feature with the minimal amount of grit getting down to the pump level.

Thanks for this, I enjoyed watching it :)

That was a dust mask (n95) you put on to spray the foam, which is a chemical. If you're actually worried about breathing in the fumes you need to get a respirator that has cartridges graded for chemical fumes. If you can smell something through your mask it's not protecting you

Really cool. I’ve been looking into getting some dart frogs, I’ve been keeping boa constrictors for almost 20 years.

[DCOutdoors]

Welcome back, bro! Looks awesome! Nice work.

Looks amazing hope to see more amazing content

Is there a viable thing to feed them aside from fruit flies? I tried those little monsters once and they had escapees and some even developed the ability to fly.

I really want poison dart frogs again, but I don't think it's possible unless there's something else that they can reliably eat.
(Pinhead crickets are also out of the question. Their parents die way too fast and the development cycle is too long.)

Genuinely the best video I've seen for dart frogs. I've been binge watching every video I can and your build is in it's own league

I did have to chuckle at the Josh’s substrate layer… as it is just common low grade weed fabric cut into strips, bagged, and sold again for more.
