New Vivarium Thoughts?

Awesome I'll look into something this weekend.

Dekyn,

The picture of the frog you posted is not an Azureus. Is that what your frogs look like? The picture is of an Auratus.

[Dekyn]

There aratas . I just started the hobby and called them that because there blue and I had heard Azureus which means blue. So I in my newbness called them that. I've since learned that the Azureus are a little bigger and a different contrast to the blue and black of the arata.

I hate to tell you this, but the reason you never see your frogs is because the blue and black auratus is one of the most reclusive of all dart frogs. Many people who purchase them report that they always hide, and are never seen unless you start moving around things in the enclosure.
A few have reported them being out and seen, but they are the minority. Most people lose interest in them because they never see them.

[Dekyn]

I wont lose interest because there really nice looking and the tank adds atmosphere. Are there any others I could add to the tank that are a bit more outgoing though?

I have a blue and black auratus and it hides all the time. I have heard that increasing the humidity can encourage auratus to be more active but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it really works or not.
