I am new to Mantellas. I have a group of nine aurantiaca which I believe consists of five cb females and four wc males. They have been breeding a lot and in the last four weeks or so I have pulled 7-8 clutches, six of which were at least partially fertilized. I am wondering if I need to pull the males or will they stop on their own? I would like to maximize their breeding but at the same time dont want the females to burn out.

Ask stemcellular. He keeps them so he should know. I'm guessing they are like darts and you might need to pull the males b/c they could cause some stress on the females if they keep breeding. You could aslo put them in a dry season to stop them from breeding.Hope this helps.

Jeremy, try ventilating the tank, cease misting, and feed a little less. That should do the trick.

decreasing the photoperiod helps too.
