Recently me and my dad finished up our dart frog vivarium. This is a big tank it has its own water feature and plenty of room for the dart frogs to roam. Here are some pictures. sorry for about some of the pictures the acrylic gets fogged up by the humidity.

We just got most of the dart frogs in today. 2 Dendrobates leucomelas, 2 Dendrobates auratus, 1Dendrobates tinctorius, 2 azureus Dart frog 4 phyllobates terribelis. [I'm not that good with naming dart frog species]

Here are some pictures. one of the species I couldn't get a picture of because there always hiding.

First pic is a dendrobates tinctorius "cobalt", third one is a dendrobates tinctorius "azureus", last ones are P. terribilis "Mint".

Tincs can be very aggressive towards other tank mates which is why it's a general rule to only keep a 1.1 pair together. Also keep in mind that some of these frogs are able to hybridize.

Here is a good read to warn you about the dangers of housing them together. Just as a caution ;)

my question after reading all of that article is lets say I wanted to set up a nice display with many different colors of frogs or what have you, are there species/morphs that cohabitation well and would give me the color range I would like to see. now I would not be selling or even giving away any from my colony I just simply would like to know if it is possible to keep a nice color variety together for the purposes of having a nice display. strictly worried about the health could you advise on how to achieve a nice variety and color mixes to achieve that goal or is it strictly whites in the front of the bus and blacks in the back.
