While there is a core group of africandos on DB that frequently (or infrequently) post about their collections, breeding success, I'm always intrigued to learn about other folks that are maybe less focused on the genus as a whole, but are nonetheless successfully keeping/breeding mantellas. To that end, I thought it would prove an interesting exercise to inventory current DB members to see who is currently working with mantellas, the specific species, and whether or not you have had reproductive success with the species (insert chuckle here..). If possible, please also cite whether they are CB or WC.
Here's to an interesting survey!
To start, I'm currently working with the following species:
Mantella laevigata WC and CB froglet (small breeding group - likely 4.2)
Mantella pulchra WC (2.3 or 3.2)
Mantella madagascariensis (assumed WC) (likely 2.2)
Mantella aurantiaca CB (3 unsexed froglets)
Mantella viridis WC (large group - 6.4 or so)
Mantella crocea CB (5 unsexed froglets)
