Actually not all dart frogs need plants. I have tanks that only have pothos and they have shallow containers, leaf litter and film canisters in them for egg and tadpole depositing and so on. Each dart frog species have their own requirements and that is where your research will come in. Your one lucky bloke though, Europe has one of the finest collections of Dart Frogs in the world, outside of being wild in my opinion. I would take a serious look around because I know there are several breeders in the UK, just be aware of reputation and quality of the animal. In a 120gal tank you could house a large colony, but I must be honest with you, I would let that tank grown in and learn to stabilize the temps and humidity within that tank as it is very large before putting frogs in it. I would also just get a a 30gal tank from a yard sale or from your local pethop and work with a trio like that until you feel comfortable and you can regulate the temps/humidity as well as health of the animal until you are 100% sure you can handle a large tank. When you can not see your animals because of how big it is might make you a little more anxious about the hobby and since when frogs die their bodies disappear pretty quickly it will be hard to know if it is just hiding or it perished due to some illness, wrong feeding regiment or otherwise. Have any other questions please ask.
