When they get older it always faints a bit. But I totaly agree!
To get an idea of the color change; +-12months old F1, same line / same parents :

Hello!
This week most frogs have been calling and started laying clutches again after the end of the simulated dry season.
This means most frogs are also very bold now so I was able to take some good shots this week.
1.0 P.Terribilis. He was calling on top of this monkeypod waiting for his female to join him.
2.1 D.T.Azurues. The female is tapping the male(s) to make them ready for breeding. After the males call, she looks for a perfect spot to lay her clutch. The 2 males are already +15 years old and by far the best breeders in my collection.
1.0 D.T.Patricia. Was calling his female. She was already in the trumpetnut waiting for him to join.
1.0 O.Escudo. In march he will be joined by a new female.
0.0.2 O.P.Bastimentos "Red Frog Beach", 2-3 month old F1 offspring.
1.1 D.T.Tumucumaque. The female is tapping the male to make him ready for breeding. After the male calls, she looks for a perfect spot to lay her clutch.

F2 O.P.B 'red frog beach' juvenile raised on a cartenoid mix made by my friend @johanovic.
He also took this photo last sunday.
The result is amazing and the frogs not even maintain their color, but the color of the frogs is also pretty much stays similar to the imported frogs in my collection.
Photo of our import 2012 male for comparison :
*Note : The F1 parents also gained more redish color from the cartenoids, but they never regained colors like the above animals. So they remain more orange/ fainted redish.
It is also important to know the F1 female raised the F2 tadpoles feeder eggs while she already consumed flies supplemented with the cartenoids.
I believe this is very import since the color on the first batch of offspring that received the cartenoids mix, did not completely came out like the imported frogs. Their colors also fainted a little bit while aging, but not as much as the offspring I've bred over the years. At that time the first batch were tadpoles, the mother die not yet receive the cartenoid mix in her dieet.
