Greetings from London

Before you ask...i found so far five tadpoles.
In the viv there is an adult trio 1.1.1

Great pictures!
I especially love the third from the bottom, really nice shot.

Gorgeous frogs.

Re: Ranitomeya Fantastica "Varadero"

Nice, I especially like the tadpole shots. I didn't even realize the varadero fantastica were in the hobby, not just the varadero imitators... when were these guys imported?

*Edit- looks like they are imitators actually. Makes more sense... great looking frogs nonetheless!

Re: Ranitomeya Fantastica "Varadero"

Ooops good you spotted my mistake Bryan.
Sorry for that it's imitator obviously...

fantasticus "varadero" to me

 

[gregadc]

There is no chance i will ever sell them
They the boldest and cutest frogs from all of my collection,but in few good moths i will probably sell offsprings..sorry.g

 

[gregadc]

I will ask the guy who i bought them from as what they came to him...
I will have to leave classification to you all...
P.S.
Just checked emails they were bought as R.fantastica.
Thats the challenge now...anyone has pics to compare two of them or for real is one and this same frog?
Peruvian frog import has them as imitators that was confused me..TBC.g

So why did the title of his bread get switched to imitator instead of fantastica?
