I was wondering with all the different colors of darts is there any in purple?

I have seen pics of Azureus that were purple, cant remember where i saw them at.

turn blue frogs purple is easy

I got pics of purple azureus from Canada in the late 80s that were more purple than blue. Luckily it was from a friend so when I inquired about purchasing some he let me in on his experiment. He just added cayenne pepper to the fruitfly media and over time the frogs turned purple. It makes sense when I remember art class mixing red and blue to create purple.

Just don't buy purple frogs.

That is:
A. A bad picture (digital is tough to get the right colors at times)
B. A hybrid

THe pictures were not digital, remember this was more than 10 years ago, when you took your film to the little kodak booth and picked up a few days later. NO email either they came by "snail" mail.

Do you know how long it took the frogs to turn purple, and how much of the pepper?

I dust with paprika, to all my frogs with reds and oranges in them.
If you feed a frog that is yellow it will turn deeper and almost orange after a while. So beware of "new Morphs" with this. It takes a while but an easy thing to do.

I couldnt bring myself to dust with cayene peper, that stuff is hot!

If I remember correctly there was some discussion of these on frognet last year on this subject. I believe vitamin deficiency was also a cause for the purple coloration of azereus.

Later and Happy Frogging,
