let me know how your eggs do. I was having a lot of molding over with my tricolors. Looks like a nice clutch though

Good luck

i don't expect them to do too awful goo seeing as this is he first clutch ever. but they do look really good for first eggs. we will see the 4 males call nonstop from sun up to sun down. i have to admit it was starting to annoy me a bit. i thought i had all males so all that calling i figured was for nothing but now its like music to my ears.
here is another of the male standing guard, the pics are through the glass so they ae alittle blurry.

Good luck

was? over it I hope...

molding = infertile eggs. The males will guard, and when fertile you will usually get a 100% take rate. If the male leaves the eggs...then you worry

they transport the entire clutch to any big enough water spot...and you can pull them from there....the site is worth waiting for

I've raised them communally without issue, assuming you feed them enough, and provide leaves to munch on. They are ravenous.

Good luck with them...

oh, naturose to the tads = amazing colors.

best,

thanks for the info sean, Ive seen the difference between naturose and not. Amazing. i think I'm going to leave them in the tank and attempt to get some naturose to them in there. its a 29Gal false bottom with about 4 gal of water that i circulated by a pump. it has a 8X8 pool that is almost standing water so we will see how it gos. I'm new to these guys they lay a ton of eggs.

I just discovered (about 1 min ago) that my suspected 2.1 group is proven.A batch of 15 fertile eggs and a batch of 12 eggs with some tads in the egg sacks! Pretty funny,considering I bought them about 2 mo. ago as 6-8 mo. old frogs :P .
