I am now the proud keeper of three Dendrobates Leucomelas; Moved them into the tank two days ago.

Two of them strut about the tank like they own it..the third is a bit shy. I'm keeping an eye on him, he will only eat if he cant see us moving about the house. He is definitely eating, but my concern is that he may be picking off the flys that have had time to clean off the rep vitamins and calcium. I plan to give him two more days in the tank before I pull him out.

Just leave him..Unless he seems stressed. If the tank is in a high traffic area of the house..You can try putting up construction paper on the sides so that he may feel more secure. Also if you feel like he isn't getting enough of the vitamins and such. You can put a bit of it on his back and spray him down. I have done that when one of my tincs seized it works.

I greatly appreciate the reply.
Thats almost exactly what I did, Covered the front glass left the sides open, I still wanted him to see activity. I also started feeding on the heavy planted side of the tank. As the bolder frogs waded into the fern looking for flys, he seemed much bolder in the cover with the other frogs.

This morning he was waiting with the other two at the edge of the brom waiting to be fed, and thankfully he jumped right in with the other frogs and decimated the flys.
