vanzolinii caresheet

Any plans to start this or is their one in the works? I've been interested to learn what's working for those that have them now that they are represented in the US hobby.

If someone wants to join the caresheet group and get one going please let me know. I have very little details on these.

I've heard that care is identical to imis? Can anyone confirm this?

i have kept mine just like all my thumbs, they don't seem to rquire spcial care. They are not sensitive and are pretty much like imis.

I do need to get some of these at some point.

The only thing I can add with them is just like most thumbs the more hidding places/ vegetation and leaf litter in the tank the more fearless they become. My breeding group lays on the front of the tank on the glass.

Well, I love to start it up but I can't really contribute to the creation since I don't have them and have never seen them (hence the reason I'd like to see the caresheet... to learn more), BUT saying that they are just like all other thumbnails doesn't really say anything towards making a care sheet for them. If it did we wouldn't have care sheets for each different species and separate sheets for each type of thumb. The care sheets are great reference material but if everyone thinks we don't need to bother with a separate caresheet for a relatively new morph to the US hobby because they are "just like everything else" then maybe we all wasted our time putting the initial care sheets together in the first place... maybe I'm wrong but I think this would be useful.

OK, how about this. From the people who I have talked to, the are indistinguishable from imitator. Same call, small clutches of white eggs, lay the eggs in inverted film canisters... has anyone noted any differences? Can someone with these frogs (and I know a lot of people have them now) confirm this and submit a few pics for the caresheet? Let's write it up.
I'm interested as well because I am raising some vanzo tads which are about to morph.

Thanks Mark, way to take the lead here! I'd love to help when I can but most of my input would be anecdotal evidence that I learned from reading and accounts of them in the wild from before they were well represented in the hobby, so not sure how much help I'll be.

I do really want to get the caresheets back going again as well as get some articles going. Its seems the new classifications are going to stick so its about time we get all of ours renamed. Id like to build a team of active people to begin working on this.

The way we manage the caresheets is via a group, that group then grants access to the section were we build the sheets edit them and then post them publicly. The key to success is dedicated people working on it.
