Basic Dart Frog Tank Setup:

1. Choose an appropriately sized tank: Poison dart frogs require a humid and temperature-stable environment, so a tank with a tight-fitting lid is recommended to help retain humidity. The size of the tank will depend on how many frogs you plan to keep, but a minimum of 10 gallons is recommended for a small group.
2. Add a substrate: A suitable substrate for poison dart frogs is one that can hold moisture, such as sphagnum moss, coconut coir, or a mixture of the two. The depth of the substrate should be at least 2 inches to allow the frogs to burrow and to maintain moisture.
3. Create a humid environment: Mist the substrate and tank walls with water regularly to maintain humidity. A hygrometer can help you monitor the humidity level, which should be between 70-90%.
4. Provide hiding places: Poison dart frogs require hiding places to feel secure, so provide plenty of hiding spots, such as live plants, cork bark, or pieces of wood.
5. Set up a lighting and heating system: Poison dart frogs require a temperature range of 72-80°F, so a heating system may be necessary to maintain this temperature. A fluorescent light can provide the necessary UVB light for the frogs and the live plants.
6. Feed your frogs: Poison dart frogs are insectivores and should be fed a variety of appropriately-sized insects, such as fruit flies, crickets, and springtails. Offer food every day or every other day, and remove any uneaten food promptly to avoid attracting pests.

Remember to research the specific needs of the species of poison dart frog you plan to keep, as care requirements may vary between species.
