Feeding Dart Frogs

[Frogdaddy]

How many dart frogs (and of what species) can reasonably fit within a ten-gallon tank? The general consensus of a quick google search says a pair, any opinions?

It depends on what species as they do very in size. The general rule of thumb is one frog for every ten gallons of space.
You could certainly fit a pair of Epipedobates in a 10 gallon tank.

Hi Moricollins,
What species of PDF do you currently raise? Awesome tank setups by the way!

I don't remember who said it so I can't give credit, but I've heard dart frogs natural habitat described as "Green Hell" lol

Lol it does look like a green inferno.

PDF builds always reminded me of a little slice of the rain forest!

I feed rice beetle larvae and springtails to my PDFs with melanogaster flies being their main diet. Nothing is any less work than the fruit flies, though. I just feed other things for variety. I keep dwarf white isopods and I know they snack on those (babies). I also feed X-sm black soldier fly larvae on occasion and I feed 1-3 day old crickets to my larger species.
