Costa Rica species
Question Costa Rica species

I didnt quite know which forum to put this on...

Im planning on building a terrarium for dart frogs native to Costa Rica. Now everything i do is biotypical so for this terrarium Im looking for common species or species available in Canada that are also from Costa Rica. Could someone lead me in the right direction. Oh and the tank is a 90 gallon Im planning on having it placed vertically (but that is subject to change). I have various types of lighting t5 and power compacts.

With Thanks, Dave

You could always try Anthuriums. As to the orchids, maybe you can find a list of plants native to Costa Rica. Also, Andy's Orchids, I know you want to buy Canada, but Andy's Orchids catalogue tells you what country they are from. This way at least you can make a list of what you want for you tank.

Tindo's idea is a great one! Just peruse the species lists until you find Costa Rica, or better yet, do a "power search" and put that in the "country of origin" box and check box the "miniature" box on the pink line. If temperature is of concern, set that as well. It will return a list of species you could look for in Canadian sources.
