I am really tempted to make a tall tank for pygmies, all planted with a rock background. I just need to source some pygmies. New Year project ;-)

Thats amazing! It's great to see people actually going to the trouble of creating a natural environment for their pets - the frogs look really happy !

That sure is amazing, I'd do this for darts or pygmies. How do you keep those tropical plants alive?
