I pm'd Haloreef a few minutes ago about these frogs, asked if they would start a thread about them.

I saw them at Big al's (Edmonton) on boxing day.

I have a lot to learn about them before I get them. I want to setup another reef but until I am in a more permanent location it makes no sense, as I will just be unhappy with a "nano" tank.

I'm looking at various Vivariums in stores, but I am also looking at making a 70 gallon or so "peninsula" style vivarium...but not while it is cold outside..


But Ultimately, I miss my reef tank...so who knows. I'm fighting the urge to have a tank built...I can't put it up and would have to store it...yet I still want to get it built...sigh...reefs, 5.5 years is pretty good will power no?

You can find suppliers of dart frogs in Calgary all you have to do is Che k out Canadart www.canadart.org. Many Dart keepers will have juvinile frogs for sale at almost any time during the year.
You can also try checking out www.understoryenterprises.com
I have plenty of pictures but for the sake of my own sanity I choose not to try and learn how to post photos. The last time I tried I was just shy of needing a new computer and bay window!

Thanks for the links!

Cool animals. Now to convince the kids that frogs are cooler than lizards.

[Haloreef]

Well... I have a couple of lizards and a Tortoise too...

I'd like to have more setups but that would either involve less salty worlds, a new house, or a divorce!:wink:

Thank You. Understory I have been checking out for awhile :)

I have always been looking for local...... I got rid of my credit cards years ago....so buying from websites etc is more often than not impossible. :wink:

We can all use these great resources...I for one did not know of them at all. And Dart frogs too have been in the back of my mind

Thank you ^

Lovely pictures, would you perhaps have more pictures of the whole vivarium? the Full tank shot as it were?
I need to learn about fog/misting/bromeliads etc etc...sigh :neutral:

[Pan]

Excellent. Thank you for all of the info Guys!

I checked J&J and they were not listed on their website, but I am going to call them as well.

Does anyone have a take of Vivariums/terarriums?

I should say I don't visit reptile stores too often though....snakes freak me out a tad...bit of a phobia there I am afraid.


Locally....so far as I have seen, there are Exo Terra and Atasuki...unless you make your own.

Any info on which is better? or other choices? I know Bow Valley used to make them...but I've been gone a long time.

As well as recommended misting/fog etc?
Basically any tips? I'm reading on Frog forums as well....but I already trust my fellow canreefers :)

Steer clear of Bow Valley (I speak from experience, and a bad one it was). I bet Concept could make you one.
