Thanks so much for the reply.



I think I'll go with your suggestion and get 4-5 frogs - I don't want it to be too cramped for my first try. Should I be sure to get pairs, or is it OK to have 2 males/3 females (in the case I have five frogs)?



Azureus look like beautiful frogs, but I've heard that they can be a bit shy? What about tincs? I've heard a lot about them, too. As a general rule, species should not be mixed - is this correct? Why is it a bad idea to mix?



As far as lighting goes, I'm going to use full-spectrum compact fluorescents (rated between 5500-6700K). I'm still unsure of the intensity of light and duration needed per day (i.e., 2watts per gallon of space, 12 hours a day). I'd really appreciate guidance in that area. I'd like to do a type of lush live moss on the floor, some ferns, and definitely some orchids or bromeliads. I haven't done enough research yet to say for sure, so a rough guideline might help.



Thanks again!
