Green Banded Morph

Well I can't speak for all of the morphs, but I can tell you about the narrow green banded morph. I love these frogs and I would consider them very easy to keep, and to breed as well. Mine are active and bold. They are out all day, and call a whole lot! They do well in groups, aren't aggressive. and are great eaters (eat larger food items). Mine do climb quit often, kind of like leucs. I think they would appreciate some height to their tanks, but it isn't needed. I would give them more floor space, but have some height to the tank. I have had them in a nice set up with a waterfall and everything, as well as haveing them in a broken down temp tank and they have done well in both (have bred in both as well). I think any normal dart frog tank would do them well. Just keep them humid and fat, and you will have good results. A really cool frog, one I highly recommend if you are interested in active frogs with nice calls.

I hate to say it, but there is not a great history on the line I am breeding. They are from a German importation years ago, but thats about all the info I could find on them. They are from Justin Yeager, so I guess they are his line? If you find some one with more info on this or another line please let me know.

auros size

They do have an awesome call! They are around the size of leucs. Actually when you think about it they share a lot in common with leucs, but are easier to breed and also are more bold.

To Mark:
As far as getting them breeding again, well I just pulled 23+ eggs from them (and I do mean just right now, as this post reminded me to check their tank lol), so I should have a bunch very soon !

lol. they do need to develope and become froglets before I let them go, so you have time. but it wouldn't be a bad idea to start thinking of how you want to set that tank up . it looks like 2 clutches, one laid ontop of the other... so I hope they are all going to be ok. i will know in a couple days.

Hey Matt-

Sorry for not noticing this post earlier! Here is a pic of one of my adult frogs:

Here is a picture of a male and female during courting (male on left, female o hut):

They are pretty frogs, at least in my opinion.

spots on back

That is interesting, but not that surprising. Some of the adults have those dots down the center, but on most of it is minimal or absent. I think most of the offspring don't have the spots. Looks good to me either way .

Thanks. They are a very nice frog that is overlooked by many, like Bill said. I want to get some of the other "morphs" one day. Again, sorry for taking so long to respond to your post.

Cool, if you (or anyone) are interested in some please pm/email me about them and we can talk.

 

[jbeetle]

Yes I would. I have 5 adults in a 30 High tank and they love it (calling right now)! They do great in groups and are great eaters... so I think they would be a great starter frog. They were one of my first frogs, and my first breeders. I don't know the dimensions of a 29 gallon cube, so I can't really say if 4 or 6 would be better. I am sure 4 would be fine, but 6 might be just as fine .

They don't need a lot height or climbing space, but it doesn't hurt. They spend most of their time on the ground, but do climb a fair bit. If you have some branches they will use them and that should be enough. I think your 29 cube should be good for a group of them. They do sleep in broms sometimes... but are primarily a terrestrial frog.
