Ok, so I bought 3 Costa Rican G&B Auratus about 2 months ago. They are obviously the same morph. Then, I bought another Costa Rican G&B sub-adult about 2 weeks ago. He's been in quarantine up till today when I added him to the viv with the other 3. The sub-adult is about 10 months old or so and the froglets I really dont know their age. Now, the new frog is a completely different shade of green than the original 3. Could this be just an age difference? They were all four sold to me as "unknown" lineage. I just want to get the forums opinion on whether or not I can keep these guys in the same viv.

Please help guys! I want to make sure I am in the right to keep these guys together.

If you are unsure of the lineage I would definitely not keep them together. There are so many different auratus, for all we (you) know it could be a turqoise morph...

Best practice is to keep them separate and, in the future, try to acquire frogs that have a known/trackable lineage (or purchase from vendors/breeders that can provide the info).

Yea, It just seems Auratus with trackable lineage are somewhat rare.
