do they need water

Do tics and leucs need a source of water other than misting of the tank? Like a flower pot bottom or petri dish? Just curious

It's not absolutely essential to have a water feature if you mist regularly and the humidity remains high, but nearly all dart species appreciate a water feature of some sort. Both leucs and tincs will spend a lot of time in shallow, running waterways hopping around over wet pebbles, or under dripping water falls, and leucs will even submerge themselves completely in water on occasion. Waterways also help to stabilize the temperatures in a tank.
