Hey guys, so I just got a new 180g tank!! I knew I had to go with darts and I have a bunch of questions and ideas, also a photo of my poorly set up paper to scale diagram in the tank if you wanted to see.
So number one: what are the best plants? What plants in a gs background and on driftwood? I was thinking orchids, vines, broms and bengolias or others like that. How would broms and orchids make out on big pieces of driftwood or on a gs background in a pot?
Two: how to make the terrarium look more natural, I've never been able to get the gs look fully planted. So what mosses should I use to fill the floor and on top of driftwood or logs that would grow? I am using two different pumps in the cage for two totally different waterfalls that fall next to eachother, so for the pond should I make a more vigorous look with rocks and a more tranquil swampy look with some sand and water plants? Could I use fish or shrimp?
Three: what group of frog? I am either going with golden mantellas mint terribilis or vents. I am looking to breed so keep that in mind. If you have any different suggestions for a group species I would love to hear!
Sorry about all the questions, if you have any other ideas on what to add to the tank or suggestions or see a fault please let me know. I got many ideas from other DB users so I will be making a shout out for their great ideas along with pictures in my documentary. I will be posting some examples of what look I am lookiforum my tank tomorrow. Any advice is useful, thanks!
