Hello I'm planning to setup a tropical vivarium and I am looking for a dart frog species I can keep in a group but wont overrun me with tadpoles. Idk if these exist but if they do please let me know. I was planning to get some "el cope" but when I learned they are very prolific I'm not so sure...

Just curious, I have a robertus froglet I just moved to grow out that is very yellow. Has anyone else had this experience while they were younger? Expecting he'll probably develop more like his parents with just the yellow brow but would be exciting to have one with high expression!

Hi guys, I have my first froglet and he's very round and not very active. He's capable of moving fast but only moves maybe a couple times a day and isn't very responsive to anything. Has anyone run into this and have any tips or possible help? I've also noticed when he's resting he doesnt seem...

So, I have a 1.2 trio of Golden Phyllobates terribilis. The females eat each others eggs. I thought that I could put two 10 or 15 gallon tanks side by side and create a passage with 3 inch PVC pipe or semitransparent piping. I would use a ball valve, or custom valve(I am very experienced as an...

＊ Hi all. I’ll keep it succinct, I really want this tinct. ＊ After some investigation, it seems that the BYH morph is one descended from originally smuggled stock. It seems that there were relatively few founders of current lines because of this. Someone has already told me that they show signs...

＊ The more threads I read in every category, the more hardcore the hobby seems. People can get incredibly heated about things like mixing, genetics, animal safety, and I’m completely behind it! I too am an animal lover. I want all of these frogs to lead happy, healthy, genetically fit lives. I...

My Bastimentos pair layed 8-9 clutches in the past 3-4 months (almost 1 clutch/week) I saw some eggs developing and i also saw some fully developed tadpoles. But the female didn’t transport them. They are about 1 year old now. Humidity: 75-85%, Temp: 22-24C. I use Repashy Calcium Plus on every...

My daughter stopped by this afternoon and was checking out the frogs and commented about how plump the gals were getting. About a few minutes later she had dragged a chair over and was standing hunched over the set up to get a top down view. Almost exactly a year ago when they went through...

I'm considering getting a couple leucomelas. However, I don't want to raise froglets. If I see they lay eggs with tads, can I ship the eggs? I have someone willing to accept whatever babies my frogs make. I'd rather just ship the eggs if it's possible and not raise tads.

Hello there I am somewhat new to Dendrobatid breeding, so please bear with me. For the last approx 3 months, my male Cobalt has been making his low buzzing call, and soon after there would be eggs in the petri dish under their coconut breeding hide. However, for the last month he has not been...

Those who have bred their dart frogs, what percentage of tadpoles make it to adult frogs? I’m curious what people have experienced so I don’t get my hopes up, as I am a very soft gal & first time dart frog owner / tadpole-raiser. Is there a benchmark where they have a solid chance at growing...

I am quite excited. I had my auratus for 7 months now and they are around 13 months old. Over the last few weeks I sometimes heard someone in the tank calling, but only ever for a short time. This morning I catched a glimpse of 2 off my frogs sitting on a branch with another one close behind...

Hope all are well need some advice with crossing a Tinc to save the line. in my part of the world, it is impossible and illegal to import new species of pdf’s. We have five species. we also have the last Tinc(powder blue) left here,as far as I understand this frog is a couple years old now.My...

Hi all, I am BRAND NEW to this hobby. I don’t even have frogs yet. I thoroughly enjoyed creating my first vivarium, and am already planning more. Before I purchase ANY frogs, I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts on breeding are. Is it fun, or stressful? Easy to sell froglets, or do you...

I am a huge fan of the painted mantellas (baroni is the best!). Before I came to U.S on Aug, I have a 8 painted mantellas in China. I founded two clutches of eggs (in little pots they used to hide under the leaflet) in the 2019 and 2020 summer when I raised the temperature and gave them huge...

I've seen it mentioned several times on this board that there are boom and bust cycles in frog popularity leading to certain morphs nearly disappearing from the hobby, with some lines only being kept going by a few dedicated keepers. What are some rare, once-common or underappreciated morphs...

My female bakhuis is following my male bakhuis around the vivarium. She keeps touching his legs and will very briefly mount him and then move over to his other side to touch him more. He doesn't seem at all bothered by her behavior. I wondered if this is signifying that she wants to breed?

I haven't been able to find much information about this. I have heard in multiple places that knowing the lineage of your frogs is important, however, I don't understand how to find out what different lines are in this country (USA). Is there a name for the different lines? I also wanted to...
