Hey everyone,

Well this is the first time I have been on this section of the forum, I am normally on the Tree Frog one. I have finally decided to go from tree frogs only, to dart frogs as well.

The tank I am currently building is a 90 gallon with automated water circulation, misting, fogging, and air circulation. I wanted to have a good number of darts to occupy the sizable space and had some in mind when I started.

Now, I didn't realize until recently that the D. azureus were territorial. I have read many places not to keep more than 2 together or they will cause stress and lead to a death of a frog. So my questions will be this to help me decide on the frogs that will occupy the tanks:

1. Is it possible to have more than 2 D. azureus in a 90 gallon tank? I am asking of personal experience on the question, not what you read someone else write.

2. If it is not possible to have more than 2 D. azureus, would adding another species like D. auratus or D. leucomelas be acceptable. I have read on reputable sites that this could work.

3. If neither of those two options is possible in a 90 gallon tanks. What about mixing just the different D. auratus (green and blue). I understand many people don't want the interbreeding to occur and produce morphs. But I am not going to be selling the darts, I don't think it will distrubt anything if they are confined to that tank.

4. If mixing the same species doesn't work, will mixing one type of D. auratus with D. leucomelas work?

And finally

5. If getting only one species is the only way to go, how many would fit in a 90 gallon tank?

Thanks guys, I would prefer not to kill any frogs due to stress, but I have read several varying views about how to do it so I thought I would ask some opinions personally to see what yall thank.
