Is a 20 long aquarium, suitable for establishing a dart frog habitat?
[My question is a little more extensive then what's stated above... sorry!]
Tomorrow I’m intending to purchase some poison dart frogs at a local herp expo, as it’s the last day before another one shows up in 4 months. I want to get them now, since the prices are remarkably cheaper then LPS
At any rate. My terrarium isn’t set up fully yet. I have a 20 long reptarium, suitable for parital submerge-ment of water. I also have the filtration pieces I need, lighting, etc., but I haven’t created my false bottom yet (herp people should know what I’m talking about). I’m trying to establish a nice rainforest habitat, to mimic their natural habitat.
If I house the little guys in lets say, a rubbermaid container, for temporary isolation. How long is suitable until their confinments become ailing to their health?
I don’t believe setting up their permanent residence will take long. Simply enough to purchase plant life, and for sealent to harden for the false bottom.
Any input for me?

Another way for them to get water is to get a water holding plant. Also, If you gaet dart frogs then your substrate should be a live piece of moss, but im sure you know that. you should house them in the deli cup you brought them home in before putting them in. make sure there isn’t too much still water, because these are terrestriial frogs. you shouldnt put the frogs in unitl getting the false bottom, plants etc,etc. Other than that, a 20 gallon long would be like heaven for them. you could house a breeding trio.
