Auratus blue 70liter vivarium

[goncalo]

Here are photos from the frogs, if anyone could help me trying to sex them that would be great xD

I think this one is an obviously female:



This one i might say it is a male but its is the biggest one :S



The rest seems females but some i am a bit confused what sex they are :S

The sizes you are describing in my experiencie are quite small, the smallest adult blue auratus I had was a bit more than three cm, a male, but normally not less than 35-38, adult females more than 40 mm. For example, all my offspring from last season that is now around 6-7 months, they're all around or easilly more than 35 mm. Are you sure about their age?

I personally think that sexing them, even if they are adult frogs, it's quite hard, sometimes not, but I think it's something really hard to assure.

In my experiencie, I don't know about other ones!

I personally think, talking about my experience with this frogs, that this viv is too small for such a large group, I kept for more than three years a breeding group in a tank a bit bigger than yours, with a lot more usefull surface and hiding spots, and big fights where in there (originall a 2.4 group), it became much better when they became 2.2.

But as they told you, you have to take an eye on them, if nothing happens, no problem, this was just my experience with this breeding group.

I also find that the keeping temperatures are a bit low, with this values, my frogs would be much more letargic. I always kept them around 24-25 degrees during the day time, same with offspring, and even if they were a bit shy, specially at the beggining, they where really active frogs.

I think as well that some leaf litter would do really fine in there.

Just my thoughts

greetings!

Hi,

Yes i am sure about their age, maybe i didnt measure them well.

About temperature, maybe its a bit low but here its really difficult to get good temperatures in winter, i am heating the room where i have the frogs at 20ºC. I have tryied to heat each terrarium individually but then i lose humidity. :S

They arent agressive with each other because they were introduced with some months in the terrarium at same time, i think its because of that.

Looks good,def add the leaf litter though. If you crumple up the oak leaves they dont look bad :-D
