I'm neoreglia bromeliad fiend. I love the tiger stripe variety. Neo wild tiger is my favorite, tigrina, tiger cub, wee willy, ampullacea tiger.

Hannibal lector is my favorite bigger brom

Very cool site thanks for sharing. I have a Guzmania right now, would like to get some of the fancier typesas well.

Stanzzzz7 for what it's worth, my vote is for dart frogs! Toads would be cool too, but the darts are just so exotic looking. And I prefer the jungle vibes of the dart frog vivariums I have seen. Though, I'm sure whichever you pick, you will make look great

P PYRU , did you find them as interesting to keep as the darts?
Are they any easier?
The tank you describe sounds similar to what I have in mind.

I like them a lot and they're active. I really didn't like keeping the feeders needed for them though. There's several different varieties I like the orientals the most color wise. They're also temperate so the environment is going to be different.

Here's the build I loosely modeled mine after except I used a lot of frogbit.

Now with all that said I currently own all darts. There's no comparison on colors. Fire belly toads and a biotopish setup will not hold a candle to darts in a tank like the one below imo. Different strokes for different folks though

Once again P PYRU , thank you for the information and I really enjoyed the links.
I'm torn between the two still at this point.

Check out the work this guy does for some inspiration.

I love this set up. It was actually this tank that started me off on the idea of fire belly toads.
Beautiful set up.

Beautiful indeed! I especially like the way he made the jungle vines. Very creative.

Wow! These are incredible. So natural looking- especially the ones that have scenes where the water and bank meet.
