Im open to suggestiosn on what kind fo improvemnts can be made. Aint that the coolest frog statue you have ever seen...Thank you patty.. what do you think?the tall pic

i would put more plants on the floor of the tank and put more colorful plants that the frogs can go in like broms, ferns, spider, snake plants... good luck!

Firstly, I'd like to say your tank looks great!

For suggestions I would say get some live moss to spread and carpet the bottom of it. That would look really nice too.

I like your jewel orchid in there, and I'd also recommend another kind of jewel orchid (is the one in there Lusidia discolor?) I really like Macodes petola, the leaves are gorgeous....they look like green velvet with gold threads. I think Black Jungle sells them, and there are some on Ebay at good prices.

What size is your tank?

the one i have in there is a Ludisia discolor. I finally put the one lonely dart in there today. he is all be himself in a 29 gal. Poor thing. Going to a show tomorrow hopefully i can find hima friend or two.

Hey Porkchop:

What kind of Dart did you get? Your tank looks great-I like the different colors of foliage you used to create contrast. For a few more ideas:

-Try elevation differenes on the soil. Create a mini landscape with hi and low ground(lower ground in the front(this will give the land portion a bit more dimention).

-You have a great start on the wood and plants. Instead doing singles of a bunch of other plants. Add more of the same types you have as it seems that repeating groups of plants look better then one of a lot of different kinds(it tends to make a better visual impact as they seem to grow more in this pattern in the wild)

-Maybe adding more of the same bark to the back ground with gradually ending borders instead of a straight cut edge would seem more naturallistic. You can also vary how far some project outwards to get more dimention front to back-a few cavey places would be not only fun but great for the frogs to hide in.

-Add a group of plants that can hold water to increase humidity-Bromilads at differnt levels of height, some moss on the floor.

Good luck and show us more of your beautiful pictures!

I Currently only have one luec in there. Looking for some friends in there now. I ordered a few more plants from black jungle also some more cork bark to go across the rest of the back. I kinda wanted to see how the plants did for a while and if some do better than others I will get more of them. I think i am going to make it higher in the back( soil wise) thank you again for suggestions any and all are apprecited
