I'm a big fan of P. Vittatus as a beginner dart. Second to that would be vents and imitators.
Vittatus are great because they do well in groups, can eat a large variety of different feeders, breed well, are not expensive, and have a bunch of cool calls. They start out a little shy, but quickly become bolder.

Beginners---Read all the posts you can here first before posting. Soak it up like a sponge.

D. Imitator Standard---great little frog---the size of a thumbnail. Beautiful colors, great disposition. Needs a vertical tank with lots of climbing space, miniature bromeliads (Neoreglia is my fave), high humidity and moss galore.

I've got to be the one to state the obvious, as far as votes go. . . azureus should count toward the tinctorous vote. Afterall, the last i checked they were part of the same group

Voted for Other. LOVE my Vittatus. They're gorgeous, they're social, they chirp and chitter at each other, and will sit in the middle of the viv and stare at me while I'm watching TV. Wonderful frogs!
