Hi all,
It has been a while since I was active here. After the summer I decided it was time for a different challenge. I kept poison dart frogs some years ago, and felt the urge to go there again. The vivarium is 70x40x50. It is built as an aquarium; that is, has no drain or false bottom and is accessed through the top (contrary to most vivaria, where access is through front doors). I had a light frame built at the top and two pieces of glass with 20 x 3 cm holes specially made (see below). The main challenge was to avoid condensation, but the numerous holes in combination with a computer fan on top of the glass (removed here for photographs) keeps the glass totally free of condensation. Frogs are not visible here, but are 2.2 Dendrobates truncatus. I will post some photos once I manage to capture them out. They just produced their first tadpoles. Compared to the planted tank this is low maintenance. A few sprayings a day and feeding every second day is all it takes. I kind of enjoy not having to change water constantly and not worrying about algae 🙂. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer.
Some bucephalandra and Anubias "mini".
Bolbitis difformis. Grows slowly but well.
Pleurothallis orchid: Grows well, but has not bloomed yet.
