I am getting ready to set up my viv and want to seed it as soon as possible. I haven't decided on the type of springs/isos yet but I was curious to know if I was supposed to seed as well as culture more.
1. Do you seed before or after planting your viv?
2. I've read that with springs you can dump the entire culture into your substrate, even the charcoal. Is that safe?
3. If I add an entire culture of springs/isos to my viv, will I need to culture more to add to it later, or will they breed often enough to sustain? I will have leaf litter of course to aid in hiding and breeding areas. I will have 5 leucs so I'm worried they may be snacked on quicker than they could reproduce.
4. If I do need to reseed, how often does that need to happen?
5. How long should they be seeded before adding my frogs to the viv?
Any help would be great. I've watched videos, read tons of info, but still unsure about those questions.
Thanks
