I've been thinking of getting some. Are they easy or hard to care for and do you know any good care sheets on them?

A care sheet is currently under development in the 'Care Sheet Creation' forum...

Overall easy to keep though they prefer cooler temps like other Epips...

A small amount of info here http://www.midwestdartfrogs.net/Bassleri.php

I think the bassleri are under appreciated, which was the reason for the thread. Hope fully it sheds some light on these somewhat bold, diverse and colorful frogs. Great pictures everyone. I'll try to get more, they can be pretty fast!

Thanks for the insight. I'm only keeping a azureus pair right now so if I were to get them would a person such as me with only that much experience be able to properly care for them?

I would say yes. Bassleri just like it a little more on the cool side, as Bill said. Their breeding may also be a little more difficult, but I have little to no experience with that... yet. A large, heavily planted tank is better too.

I have some time, so I'll play too [which takes forever with my slow internet at home]

Blk INIBICO bassleri males

Yellow

They havent bred in quite some time. Not exactly sure why. Temps? Food source/nutrition?

I have the Yellows as 4.2 and they do need separating. The Blk as 3.1. A group of 3 chrome, sexes unknown. They are very shy comparatively.

Old pic but here ya go...

Is anyone having some breeding success with these? especially the blacks? I still have the lone male who needs a girlfriend, but the few times more were available i was broke.

Im considering selling since im strapped for cash while i wait for new job to start, so if anyone currently working with the blacks is interested you might PM me, i havent decided for sure...but i may have to. I hate to let him go, but i dont wanna hold on to it if i cant pair it up, rather it go to someone who needed it for breeding.

But if anyone has a known female might let me know, since that would be my first purchase when i do have cash
