So its official!!!!
My Super Blue Auratus from Adam Butt (my avatar) have begun breeding. They were raised from froglets and are finally making clutches!
They are about a year old. I was beginning to think I had a pair bc of the considerable size diference. They are the most timid frogs and always scatter when I get anywhere near the tank. I was doing my usual maintenance and found 5 eggs in the petri dish.
2 were moldy and being eaten by namerteans, 2 were fully hatched and swimming and one was uncoiled but still in the clear egg jelly. I diddent take a pic of the clutch bc of the mess that was inside the petri dish. I almost washed them down the sink!!!!
I left the one in the mass but pulled the 2 swimmers, and put them into deli cups with some rooibos tea and a oak leaf.

they look good to me mate,as a beginner,whom has seen a few of these they look exactly like ours,we pop the tiniest bit of food in there on the 2nd day now just abit earlier than we were,but i mean tiny,best of luck,with them.Part of the greatest pleasure is watching that last few days before they morph as the colour starts to show,you never know quite what the next will look like,our biggest froglets are bolder it seems than the parents,i guess they have just given up being bothered by my ugly mug staring at them.Oh David i have not much experiance of all this as you know but ours seem very slow for a few days,don't be alarmed if you see this,once they get going we have lost very very few,actually one at morph out if we get them through the first week
