I’ve noticed this white granular mold on the glass of my tank, should I be concerned? I scraped out a bunch but it’s already growing back a little. Today I noticed that there was a yellow mushroom growing up through my pothos. Is this yellow pot flower fungus (Leucocoprinus birnbaumii)? I’ve read super conflicting statements on if it’s harmful to my frogs or not. this is an older tank that’s never had this problem till I added some more substrate. Won’t be using Josh’s ABG mix again, I... Yellow mushrooms and mold in tank ..read more

Hi, I'd like to share some pictures of my past setups. I didn't include them in my introductory thread because these builds no longer exist due to roundworm infestations of my frogs which forced complete teardowns. However, I was asked for some photos, and the setups entail some design aspects you might find worth discussing, which will help me (and possibly others) with current and future builds. So any feedback is highly appreciated! Here's an impressions of the first setup for my D... Some (Past) Builds ..read more

There are many dart frog keepers who have previous or ongoing experience keeping aquariums -- reefs, planted tanks or general FW community tanks. Some folks take up dart frog keeping after burning out from the expense and maintenance of aquarium (usually reef) keeping. Beginning dart frog keepers sometime cite aquarium experience as relevant to, or even offering advanced placement in, dart frog keeping. I've always had from one to seven aquariums at a time (always at least one reef) for... Things I had to unlearn as an aquarium keeper ..read more
