Tad Pack!

[cryptokat]

So I let my azureiventris take care of their own eggs this time around and look what I got!! I've tried a few times before, but the eggs always just ended up disappearing.

Congrats, great pic! I have yet to actually observe tad's being transported other than in pic's.

[cryptokat]

yes that's the dad. He was guarding the eggs for a few weeks and has been carrying them on his back for a few days. It took me a while to actually get a good pic of it!!

BTW question-- what kind of deposit sites should I have available? And should I take the tads out of the tank at that point? I have 2 tree nut things filled with water, is that sufficient?

Nice pic. My male continues to call but no breeding thus far.

As far as the deposit site you may need a bit larger area of water, like a shallow bowl. He may drop some of in the nut pods if he feels they are sufficient or he may continue to carry them around till he is satisfied.

A friend of mine has a water feature in his tank and gets continous breeding from his azurieventris. They go down to the waters edge and drop the kids in their.The only problem with that is those tads are difficult to catch and once they morph out even more difficult. He has a few froglets living in the viv that he can't manage to catch. Very fast frogs

BTW Good luck, they are very cool frogs
