Dart frogs are breeding machines, give them their minimum requirements they will breed. The fact you claim there was no breeding indicates you did have issues. It is a good thing you do not have them together any longer, I can guarantee you would have eventually would have had aggression and dead frogs. Some of these frogs can take two
Or more years to really reach maturity.
I learned the hard way years ago that even a 2.1.0 tinc tank eventually leads to a dead frog, even after living together for two years.

So do you still have frogs? *edited*

Yes it may take time, the aggression will eventually show. Often you may not see it until you start having frogs drop off.
In the long run the frogs are better served by a 1.1.0 ratio

Heres the thing about this though... there are people here that know a LOT more than you do. Husbandry methods talked about on this site have been developed by those people who have spent a lot of time on them. For you to act like your single experience means it will work every time shows your own disrespect for the concept of the forum. You are new here, this topic has been covered ad nauseum. I can guarantee you have no new information to offer toward it, which in turn is why people become hostile towards you when you resist them in the manor that you have.

Most times when this topic is brought up the response ends up being "it can be done, but it is not recommended". The people that typically resist that are simply those that cannot accept it because it is not what they wanted to hear.

Look, we get it... your frogs lived together and did not die... congrats... but the full experience of the people that have dealt with these species since they were first introduced to captivity contradicts what you, an individual with VERY limited experience, are saying...
Well said!

Im sharing..thats it, nothing more.

For those of you who think this experience isnt worth sharing, its sad that you cant open your minds to the possibility that this could happen and did happen.
Read my previous post. These frogs are territorial. Just because you did not have issues prior to getting rid of them says nothing except you were lucky.
Cute? I call it irresponsible. Any reading on the subject would indicate that sharing such a post as this would make you a troll. In the long run the frogs are better served in other conditions. Again read my other post. I predict a locked thread before long. Congrats on your cute pictures:(

im sure this will go on and on, bash away. It just shows the forums inability to adjust to new things,thoughts,suggestions,different opinions,different experiences, and new people to the forum. Maybe if someone was respecful i might explain certain things...but when your disrespectful, theres no point. Irresponsible..not likely. Inexperienced, no. This should be closed, because anyone reading this that is new to the forum would be appauled at how the forum treats people.
New? Like was explained before this is not new. The practices and experiences of those prior and such have come up with the husbandry practices that are proven. Your post is proven to end in dead frogs. You are the one showing disrespect to the frogs. Yours is not a NEW idea and as an old one has been proven to end in dead frogs. Thank you suggestions that I am disrespectful as the rest of us. Thank you for showing that most people cannot put common and sense together.

I must say that mixed tanks are cool and I have seen the light. I will now tell anyone that asks heck yes you can put whatever you want in the tank. Thanks for bringing up population density in the thread, now I will go as far as saying the more bodies we can get in there the better they will do.:( When they come back and ask why do I have a dead frog and such, I will just tell them lets just replace em until we figure out what happened.
