You'll know the humidity is too low when the frogs hide constantly, fog develops on the sides of the tanks, etc.

I never argue with you, Josh, but when fog develops on the sides of the tank, humidity is rather more high, not low, depending upon temperatures and dew levels, of course. That statement confused me, because I took it to mean that the humidity is low when this occurs.
Between 80 and 100% usually suits darts, but different areas of the tank will vary, and we usually only measure from one place on a side, so don't get the full picture. If you mist daily and the tank is essentially closed, and if you have a water feature of some sort with lots of plants, they will be able to find the most comfortable zone if they need to do this.
