here I've been looking into dart frogs and a mixed species exosystem for some time now this website

http://saurian.net/htm05/froginfo_dartfrog_faqs.html

if you scroll down you will see info on mixing different species, and different herps with dart frogs. Good luck

Here's the opening sentence from the section of the link you're refering to:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
What Other Kinds of Animals Can be Kept With Dart Frogs? [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Generally speaking it's a bad idea to try to keep other animals with dart frogs, in particular if you are a beginner, and if your tank is smaller than about 60 gallons…[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Still sounds like you shouldn't mix them with other herps if you ask me. :grinno:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dart Frogs require low temperatures in the low to mid 70's. Most lizards they suggest require higher temps and a basking spot which would raise them temperature in the tank and possibly stress and kill the frogs. I'd be afraid too that the other tree frogs listed might eat your dart frogs as well seeing how they now lack their deadly toxin.

lol indeed. I think some people try to keep some day gecko species with them and such but in reality it's probably not a good idea. Yes there are mixes I suppose with dart frogs, but it's done by the experienced, in a tank probably bigger than what is needed if you combine the 2 that keeps them seperate and only certain mixes. Hybrids are basically a capital offense in the dart frog world so that is a large reason people don't like it.
 
i have heard of people mixing rough green snakes with them.
 
DO not mix the dart frogs. I see you are from pittsburgh. Can I ask what pet store you are buying them from. I vend at the pittsburgh bird and reptile show and sell to a couple of people who own pet store up there. I Live about 30 minutes from pittsburgh in WV
1/4 inch is about the size I sell the to the pet store at.
Mixing is a big no no. It causes stress on the frogs and you would probably end up with dead frogs. Tincs are more aggressive then leucs and the leuc would probably be the first one to die.
Some people do mix but in very large tank with alot of experience. And you have to really know what you are doing.
I will be vending at the sho wnest weekend on the 20th in cheswick. I should have azureuz, cobalts, green and black auratus and maybe some leucs.
 
I just seen the snake comment also. And That also is not a good idea. The snakes need a larger food than Fruit flies and the larger food items could potentially harm the frogs.

Have you started culturing FF yet? It is good to atleast make sure you can keep ff cultures going before you get the frogs. Also agood idea to seed the tank with springtails for a few weeks before getting the frogs.
