National Zoo in DC, has a relatively new Amazonia Exhbit which has quite a few dart displays, including a huge circular tank containing pumilio and a small species of glass frog.

This frog was in a viv in a separate exhibit from the other tricolor/anthonyi, it looks like a different morph. I really don't know much about anthonyi/ tri's, but this looks like a SI anthonyi.

I hate to say it but at most zoos and museums in Chicago they mix species..... The vivs are pretty large but still a no-no. Usually I'll see them mixing Auratus with Tincs

Yeah almost every public display at a zoo or aquarium involves mixed species. It's usually leucs, tincs, and auratus. I'm sure that maybe not ideal for the animals they would destroy eggs to prevent hybrids and keep an eye on them. On my last trip to the aquarium I did see a female azureus kill another female in a mixed tank, and at an exhibit at the national zoo I saw pumilio and vents chasing leucs, even in a huge tank.

I live in east Texas. i haven't made it to Dallas aquarium yet but plan to. Because of its fame how are the frog exhibits at the San Diego zoo and the Georgia Aquarium. I would like to see what they have done because of what they have done with all the rest of their animals. I did see the St louis zoo exhibits a few years ago. Our little Caldwell zoo has one poison frog tank mixed with azureus, auratus, and splashback.
