    Here is my year old vivarium 60x45x60cm ( pick up this last CNY when someone left it at the void deck during spring cleaning ). It houses 3 copper cheeks and a four line tree frog and also some neon tetras. More plants will be added soon.



    This photo show my vivarium corner. Had a new tank waiting to be set up soon.



    Here are some of the frogs.

    Davwong, you can upload your pictures onto the AQ Gallery. It makes viewing easier. You can refer to this link: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...671#post228671

    Nice vivarium corner... A good idea, indeed!

    And what a good catch! That setup would have costed you up to a couple of hundred dollars if you got it newly planted off the shelve...
    Read me! :bigsmile: http://justikanz.blogspot.com/

    I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii

    Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...

    Nice tanks and cute frogs. Is that a neoregelia in the 3rd picture, how's it doing in the vivarium environment? I would like to have some in the new setup.

    very nice setup! Those curvy branches give the vivarium a very natural look. I like the picture with 4 dumpies sitting in a row, looks like a frog chorus

    Is that four-lined frog from the same LFS I bought?

    Thanks for the comments on the setup. Will be adding more plants to it as it look abit empty now. Yes the four-lined is from the same LFS, use to have one of it but it escape.

    The whites love to sit on the branch when the light is off. Hope to take a photo of 7 of them sitting together.

    Davwong, try to avoid quoting the whole text from the post which is directly above your replies. It makes the thread easier to read.

    I am wondering... Whether the 4-line and the copper cheeks will fall prey to the White's Tree Frogs...

    Ken, I also have a neos in my vivariums. They seem to like the humidity... But they can lose stripes when there's not enough light... But do note that their bottoms should not be too wet to prevent rotting...

    Hi,

    I saw a website of a guy in US breeding dart frogs and there are for sale! Very cute little buggers! was even tempted to try having a pair of them. The guy had a whole basement dedicated to pleco and dart frog breeding . Anyway, your set-up is very cool! Would love to see it

    The tank looks awesome. What substrate did you use for the 60x45x60 set-up, the average temp and did you use any cooling/misting system or fan?

    Hi Ken

    The substrate I use was expended clay balls, fine meshes follow by coco-peat then top up with live mosses. Had not measure the temp will measure it and let you known latter. Planning to add a cooling fan on timer soon.

    Was inspired by Chin's setup at wild-sky website (a great site for vivarium with lots of photos)

    Any full shots of the tank? Your frogs looks healthy, did you encounter any problems during the 2 years, would be good to share your experience.

    Will tidy up the tank first before posting more photos of the vivarium. The *** are ok not much problem they are easy to keep. It seem no one selling them anymore. For the copper cheeked had about 6 but now left 1. Just bought a mister will find time to install it.
