Could someone give me some details on how to keep these? Like diet, humidity etc. And is there any major differences between the different species of dart frogs?

Cheers,
Keith
 
That is way way too much of a general question... There is so many types of dart frogs.

Their main diet should be fruit flies. They can also eat pinheads, springtails, bean beetles, RFB, etc. But their main diet should be fruit flies.

PLanted tanks with false bottoms work best. Temps should be in the mid to low 70's
The humidity should range from 60-90%.

They also should not be mixed.

If you narrow it down a little better I might be able to help more.

when you have more refined questions there are several people here with ample expereince, but like mentioned above, your question is simply too vague. It would take a small books worth of information to properly respond.
 
Azureus or Leucomelas Darts would be your best bets. Active and by far the best Dart Frogs for beginners...

i would feed fruit flys and spring tails stay away from pinheads if some go uneaten they can chew on frogs humidity 80-100% room temp should be fine pumilo like it hotter and Colostethinae like it cooler for the tank i would get a 20g and add a bunch of plants and a foam background like this http://www.pangeareptile.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2268
