Hello all!
I'm highly considering getting inyo dart drogs and I have 2 10 gallon tanks. Now these are the only things I have but I would like to know if I can use these. I plan on getting some Dendrobates tinctorius citronella.

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.

darn, that scientific name is giving me some vivid Lasius claviger flashbacks...

You can use those tanks, but I would keep maybe one per tank. Having multiple may overcrowd it.

I am planning to make a vivarium for each but I think the 10 gal might be too small...

I used to keep tree frogs in 10-15 gallon tanks. Two to three per tank should be fine, however make sure you thoroughly clean the tanks (not with soap!) before introducing the frogs. Even tanks fresh from the box could still have harmful residue from factory chemicals so make sure to soak them and wipe them clean with paper towels.
