If they are solid orange they are most likely Cayo Nancy or Solarte. If they are patterned they could be el dorado or bastimentos as well. Do you have photo's?

Just saw the ad....I am gonna go with El Dorado. The Bri-Bri morph can also be org or red and is geographically close but since exports from Costa Rica are illegal and rare...I would put my money on the Panamanian form....

With regard to the same advertisement, anyone know what the red and blue pumilio being sold are (pics below)? Not going to purchase WC but interested to know for future reference when looking for CB - gorgeous frogs!

those look like almirantes

One thing to keep in mind with the "Almirantes" is that many localities have that particular pattern, so knowing where they came from is virtually impossible unless you're told.

I too, got a christmas present from the same place. I'm thinking they are Nancys.

To the best of my knowledge, solartes won`t be coming in anymore. Those look like el dorados. They are too "stocky" for solartes, which are a more fragile looking frog, skinnier legs, more petite appearance. Plus, most solarte literally glow orange or reddish.

Definately El Dorado's, I visited Strictly on Wednesday and they had about 100 of them, and a dozen or so Almerante type. They also had a few of the yellow Gauramo type, which I was told sold well into Europe as no one had success breeding them. My guess DTS got them from Stricly: $45 for 1 frog, $40 for 6 and if you bought 12 $35 each.
I picked up a really nice pair of Almerante type which were bright red with black legs for $70, most of the rest of those were orange with green legs.
