Your background looks dry? And I personally add leaf litter. Maybe some flimcans or different hiding spots.
My input. Looks good good though good luck!

Auratus blue 70liter vivarium
Hi,
This is my vivarium with 6 auratus blue:
4 with 13 months
1 with 9 months
1 with 15 months
![]()
It has less vegetation because i cutted some plants last week, should the auratus start calling soon ? Till now no calls, they are really shy always hiding behind stuff, only on the mourning when i am not close to the terrarium they came to explore the plants and stuff otherwise they just hide between the plants.
Temperatures: 20-22ºC
Humidity: 86-96%
Suggestions accepted =)

The sizes you are describing in my experiencie are quite small, the smallest adult blue auratus I had was a bit more than three cm, a male, but normally not less than 35-38, adult females more than 40 mm. For example, all my offspring from last season that is now around 6-7 months, they're all around or easilly more than 35 mm. Are you sure about their age?
I personally think that sexing them, even if they are adult frogs, it's quite hard, sometimes not, but I think it's something really hard to assure.
In my experiencie, I don't know about other ones!
I personally think, talking about my experience with this frogs, that this viv is too small for such a large group, I kept for more than three years a breeding group in a tank a bit bigger than yours, with a lot more usefull surface and hiding spots, and big fights where in there (originall a 2.4 group), it became much better when they became 2.2.
But as they told you, you have to take an eye on them, if nothing happens, no problem, this was just my experience with this breeding group.
I also find that the keeping temperatures are a bit low, with this values, my frogs would be much more letargic. I always kept them around 24-25 degrees during the day time, same with offspring, and even if they were a bit shy, specially at the beggining, they where really active frogs.
I think as well that some leaf litter would do really fine in there.
Just my thoughts
greetings!

Yes i am sure about their age, maybe i didnt measure them well.
About temperature, maybe its a bit low but here its really difficult to get good temperatures in winter, i am heating the room where i have the frogs at 20ºC. I have tryied to heat each terrarium individually but then i lose humidity. :S
They arent agressive with each other because they were introduced with some months in the terrarium at same time, i think its because of that.
Update now with photos of clutches from my auratus blue and tadpoles, last picture is a small auratus with 2 weeks.
Thanks,
