Easiest to Breed

I'm new with Poison dart frogs and was wondering what Poison Dart Frogs are the easiest to breed?

Also, I'm trying to breed Red eye tree frogs at the moment in a rain tank but with one little issue. The males are clinging onto the female but she doesn't seem to be interested/producing eggs. Any suggestions

Auratus are very easy.

For your first frogs. Stay away from the tiny thumbnail species and go with a Tinc species for your best chance of success.

They are less expensive to acquire as well which will help...

tincts are easier to breed than thumbs are, but also green legged and organce lamasi breed like rabbits, standards are a little more sporadic.

Azeuras were pretty easy, raised 2 froglets for a year and almost a year to the day they started laying eggs every 3-4 days. Still no tads but I think that is user error...

For the red eyed tree frog question, got to talkto.thefrog.org . It is a frog forum, you can ask it there. This is a dart frog forum after all......
No frogs are really easy to breed, sometimes you run into problems, as with any frog. The easier to breed frogs are tincs, auratus,leucs, some thumbnails like mentioned above , and E. tricolor (in my opinion).

So any of the Tinct or Auratus species are easy to breed or are their only certain types?

All are "realitively" easy to maintain and breed. Sometimes Leucs breed in cycles or are a little more difficult and there are always some little variations to account for but.....

What you want to do, is start with an inexpensive "Tinc type" frog hence, all the references to Auratus which are only @ $20.00 for a froglet.

A Regina or Matecho morph is a lot more $ and much more painful if you lost it to a mistake.

hope that helps.....
