No, should I have done that?Did you place screen or some other barrier on top of the gravel?
Thanks for the advice I will keep an eye on it to make sure that does not happen. You are right the gravel is pretty small, the smallest aqurium gravel that I could find. I anticipated, since this is my first viv, that some things would come up which is why I went ahead and set it up now. I don't plan on getting my dart until the end of april or maybe even may so I have plenty of time to watch, wait and see what happensSince the gravel appears to be pretty small in size you are probably fine, but definitely watch the water level. A screen(or similar material) helps keep the soil from settling into the gravel and soaking up excess water.
