Largest and smallest dendrobatids

[Phyllobates azureus]

I'm just curious since most sources say that P. terribilis is the largest dendrobatid and O. pumilio the smallest, but i'm not so sure. Just the other day i saw a trio of imis that were without a doubt smaller than any pumilio i've ever seen. And last month i was visiting some fellow froggers and their patricias/citronellas/cobalts were bigger than any terribilis i've ever seen. Well that's a bit of a lie, the white mints at the last ontario reptile and exotic pet expo were a little bit bigger than those tincs. But you get the idea. Does anyone know what the largest and smallest species/morphs are?

The smallest I've seen are Ranitomeya reticulatus.

Here's a past thread on smallest frog.

Smallest dart frog?

I could be wrong but I think trivs are one of the larger darts in the hobby. I've also seen some pretty big tincs. Retics are pretty small, I don't know if they are the smallest, but I haven't seen any smaller species in captivity.

I believe Andinobates claudiae is the smallest species: Dendrobates.org - Andinobates claudiae

It also depends what you mean by "largest". If you are solely looking at SVL (snout-vent length), then terribilis might not be the largest. I have had trivittatus in the past and they are a long, slender frog that may be a little longer than terribilis. But terribilis dominate the "largest" category if you are looking at body mass.

I second the Trivs, they get HUGE!

I have seen Silverstonei (females only) and WC Citronella Tincs that were amazingly huge, the Siverstonei were CB but were in a 10 foot long 3 feet wide stream tank with a chllier, I am sure they were as big as their WC counterparts.

Welll the only Trivs i have ever seen were froglets at an expo. I have heard that greenback trivs and powder blue tincs get to relatively monstrous sizes. Though i do have to say that if Trivs get bigger than those patricias/mints i mentioned...they'd probably be pressing the size of a Lithobates pipiens.
EDIT: Oh and Metechos can also get pretty big.
I won't lie, the first macheto i ever saw was so thin that i thought it was an Atelopus zeteki at first glance...

Pumilio escudo are smaller than retic's. Fat terribilis maybe but snout to vent tincs beat them.
