best public places to see dart frogs

[arhogfan56]

what zoos and aquariums have the best frog displays?

[Freeradical53]

Yes, would love to know the sites. I've been to the Dallas aquarium..two or three exhibits. The New Orleans aquarium before Katrina had the best I've seen, however after Katrina, they lost a lot of exhibits. A friend mentioned that the St. Louis zoo had some.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore has several, and from what I hear they have a pretty extensive collection behind the scenes. I remember one large exhibit before the "rainforest level" containing galacts, castis, and phyllomedusa (but last time I went the only galact I saw was dead in the water feature I think ) Then they have around 4-5 vivs upstairs which are nice. My favorite dart exhibit though is the whole open rainforest part up top. Most people don't know it, but there are actually live anthonyi or tricolor (I don't know which) living loose up there. It's very cool. I can hear them all over, but before I thought it was just recorded or a bird call. There is one spot where I am able to find 1-2 every time I go, it must be a favorite hang out spot. I think I heard that at one point they were so prolific that they were finding froglets/ tads down in the part where the excess water drains in the basement part or something. There was a thread on it in the lounge section, I have pics in there.

The California Academy of Sciences have a couple of good ones. In the basement area they have a tank with Azureus and in the Costa Rica rainforest exhibit they have a tank with Auratus and Pums.

Yeah, Baltimore Aquarium has some sweet exhibits.. I was there last week and saw two tricolors courting near the stream in the middle section of the rainforest exhibit.
