Just curious if anyone was able to get ahold of these from the last WIKIRI/U.E. import? I haven’t heard much talk about them around here. Gorgeous frogs.
The first batch is supposed to be coming in the February WIKIRI shipment. There were limited numbers, so not sure how many will be available. I am on the waitlist for 4 of them. They are awesome looking frogs.

I was under the impression that some were sent out in the last U.E. shipment (back in September?), but perhaps not. I am on the wait list as well, though I was told it is rather long.
When I was put on the wait list in August, I asked about availability. I was told the Cielitos would arrive early 2015. That was when Understory expected there next WIKIRI order.
Hey, I received an email from Elaine yesterday. Understory is expecting some Cielitos on March 1st. If everything goes according to plan, I will receive mine by the 6th. I will post some pics when I get them.
They are beautiful little frogs in person. I will update the pics when I move them out of quarantine in about a month. My only regret is not getting more lol.
Hey, sorry for the lack of updates. The frogs have been really shy since being moved to their viv. The frogs have been doing well, but head for cover as soon as I get close. Managed to get a couple crappy pics through the glass. Also found a surprise in their water dish today. There are only 2 tads, but it's a start.
A bit of an update, my first F2 froglet was put in a bin last week. I had two, but the second one had spasms and died as I was moving the first one. The good news is I have 15 more tads on the go. The next batch should morph out in a few weeks.
That's too bad about the other little guy, but it sounds like they're just as prolific as the other morphs of tricolor and anthonyi.
I'm setting up a 40 gallon for mine at the moment; I'm just waiting on substrate and glass for the top! Do you have any photos of how you have yours set up?
I picked up my little guys this morning! Absolutely stunning colors; I can't wait to see them mature. All three were out and about as I was leaving. I will try to get some more photos this weekend (and maybe even share some of the 40 gallon that I will be putting them in!).
Sounds like the ones that came in (based on your experience and the one other person I've heard from) are very young and small. Unfortunately, the November shipment is being pushed back until 2016 due to several issues with WIKIRI and UE, so for now I'll have to live vicariously through you. Post lots of updates!
Here are a couple of photos of the 40 gallon biotope that my group will be going into once they get a bit bigger (don't mind the mess of wires, I still have some organizing to do):
Good luck with these Shaun. I just saw one of the other WIKIRI pictures of these, and this locale is stunning. Hopefully they are as productive as the other Epips in the hobby.
Do you have a plant list for your tank? My last few tanks have been Ecuador or Peru "biotopes" and it would be interesting to see what plants others used for theirs.
Here is the current plant list for the 40 gallon pictured above; some things may get replaced as it all grows in and I do some more research. Obviously it’s not a perfect biotope as some things are being used as stand-in species for ones I can’t locate, and some aren’t necessarily found within the locale…
Ryan, I am curious about your biotopes as well – do you have a link to photos with information on them? What resources do you use to gather information for creating biotopes?
I have been meaning to post a write-up, that helps to cover plant selection pertaining to biotope enclosures, in the plant section, but I wasn’t sure if others would find it helpful as not many people discuss biotope construction.

Why are you selling your 10 gallons epyphyte branch tank? That your biotope tank is perfect, IMO, for the coming froglets of these beautiful tricolor.
