Default Any red frogs as vibrant as an Azureus that are equally as easy and community to care

Are there any red PDF that are equally as easy to care for and can be community such as auratus, azureus or leucs?

And ones that are a reasonable price range... I'm not talking about 100+ for a red frog.

any where in the 20-60 range?

Well there are a few things that come to mind. $20 is way low for any frog, whatever it is. Azureus are not a community frog generally, as females are very agressive.

I hate to say it, but VIBRANT red frogs are generally expensive. Glacts come to mind, as much more reasonable, $70 or so I think. But they are usually not that bright red, more of a dull red. They can be somewhat shy too. Your RED RED frogs are vents, pumilio, retics. You might consider tri-colors. They are red and do well in groups. I don't know what they go for.

'tricolors'/anthonyi come to mind also....~40-50$ for most well started juvis. The Santa Isabel are more 'red'....rust, and can be color supplemented successfully.

There are several Pumilo that look like that, but they are gonna cost $$$ Just for fun, look up Silverstonei. Not available, but up your alley.

Not a "vibrant red" more of a red-orange, but it might fit the bill.

mantella auantiaca milotympanum

The "ruby" mantella.

much smaller than the dendros you mentioned.
They can be kept in groups, similar care than dendros but need cooler temps. Plenty of care info on the net.

They're not solid red - but have a look at Iquitos Red/Orange ventrimaculatus.

Cheers,

What kind of frog is this? Is it a dendro?

Also, on this website, there is a bright red frog with black spots and blue legs... thats pretty much what I'm looking for... its towards the bottom of the thumbnails...

Pumilio would also not be recommended as a beginner frog.

As mentioned the tricolor, or red galactonotus. Though galactonotus can be tough to find as they are not easily bred.
