Ranitomeya sirensis "rio pachitea yellow"

Where's the 'jealous' emoji when I need it?

Seriously, looking forward to hearing about these frogs!

I'm pretty excited to get my group next weekend.

I have 6 of them coming, that was the suggested number for this sized tank from Understory Enterprises.

They're very hard to get a decent picture of. They're always on the move.

So far they seem much more arboreal in their tendencies than I expected, they're always climbing and jumping. Then again it's only been 3 hours

And they have eggs already... Had been hoping they wouldn't have any quite so fast but looked in on them today and there are eggs.

They are gorgeous. Great photos also.

Wow you have eggs already? So fast! How old are they?

I'm not exactly sure how old they are, but clearly mature

More eggs... Rarely see them eat but I presume they've settled in given all the calling and the eggs...

Re: Ranitomeya sirensis "rio pachitea yellow"

Awesome! Might get me a group of these soon...

Are you going to let the parents do tad-rearing? I love seeing my imitators raise their kids.

I'm planning to let them give it a go with the first round and then see how that goes.

OK, I'm getting four of these next week. Thanks for the inspiration!

They're pretty fun but reclusive.

Mine spend all their time (or practically all of it) in bromeliads. I have added a bunch more broms so that they can have space.

At one point there were 5 frogs in a fireball bromeliad, all huddled on top of each other, it was quite cute.

Interesting to see they settle in that quick and start spawning within a month of being introduced!

Update: saw a male carrying around a tadpole today , fun to see, don't see the frogs out much
