supplies from Michael's?

[Sadrienne]

I'm setting up a dart frog tank and was wondering if there are any supplies i could get at the Michael's Arts and Crafts store - I got a gift card for Christmas, but I wasn't sure if they had anything that would be safe in the frog tank - any suggestions?

ummm, fake plants, glass marbles/pebbles, thats pretty much all I could think of, for now.

You could pick up some fake plants but I think it would be better to use the real thing.

ok...I might get a couple large leaved fake plants or something, but I already have some live bromeliads and a philodendron...

Thanks for your help, yall I figured they would have pebbles and things but was just wondering if I wasn't thinking of something...

I also saw some 'decorative sand' but I don't know if that'd be safe in a tank...

they have the mesh that you'd use for making moss walls and doing substrate seperation.. foam for carving landmasses... maybe even small bags of concrete mix to coat your foam, paint, epoxy... gold mine.

they may have some mosses in their plant arrangement area that could be used for decor. Not sure on safety

I wouldn't take my chances on finding out if the stuff is okay in tanks.
The only thing I could think of and bought from there in my fish tanks are the clay potts for my convict tank

I wouldnt use the moss they sell at micheals or ac moore, etc. Most of it is dyed to look prettier, and that means toxic to your animals.
I just picked up some super cheap river rocks there though. 2.29 vs 5.59 at the pet store. You just have to look around. Sometimes thay have really nice decorative twigs on sale, and I use those for my aviaries. If you use them for animals, just make sure they havent been treated or dyed.
