Im just curious as to how important you think it is to make sure they are from the same locality... I may be setting up another tank if It is really important

I think this is a common problem with Auratus, I actually think they are pretty messed-up because of that. If it was me I would stick with vendors who could verify the locale of their frogs (EDIT-As far as that is available. You might not get the exact location, but atleast you could keep a hawaiian seperated from a Costa Rican or Panamanian). Too many are just labeled green and black or blue and black for my liking. That is just me though. The problem is that frogs from different areas of the world (even various countries), or even different populations in the smae country can look very similar. See the link below. I suspect similar problems with Suriname Cobalts as they have a wide distribution in the wild, varying looks, but have all mostly been mixed together at this point. I know of atleast one person that keep to seerate "morphs" of Suriname Cobalts for this resaon. Whether they are truely different or not is another story. It is similar with Pumilio.
