well it's because half would be water and i don't want them to drown, since they're terrestrial

I think it would still be ok then. You can have plants and sticks shooting put of the water so that they can hop around over it.

Hi Samuel,
Most dart frogs are poor swimmers and will drown easily. A water body in your vivarium is probably a waste of time as the frogs are unlikely to use it. I personally would avoid one altogether due to the risk of drowning. Most dendrobates breed in tiny water bodies found in the axles of plants and bromeliads

Which species are you interested in? You should do some research at sites dedicated to dart frogs such as: http://www.dendroboard.com/ before finalising the viv. It's usually better to design the vivarium around the species you want to keep.

Looks like a nice size tank!

thanks mark but as i say'd i want planing on dendrobates when i started my tank, but since its too hard to get a pair here in guatemala, i decided to try frogs, thats why the tank its 50%water and 50% land or less, im almost finishing the tank, just i had a few problems with the waterfall but its almost done, just looking for some background material and some moss, if you think it would be better not to keep dendrobate in the tank ill wait for the newts and mean while start with another tank for dendrobates

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
