ok I'm fairly new to darts and I have 4 vitts too young to sex (so I thought) they are 6-7 months one has been calling for a month and last night he was calling and I watched as the female (I'm guessing) sat on his back, what does this mean? are they trying to breed?

Yup and congrats! Females are generally bigger than the males.

thanks I'll keep an eye out for eggs. I was almost certain they were too young to be breeding already I was assuming I would have eggs this summer, that and I don't have a petri dish and just made my own cocohut and added it to the tank last night

You may or may not get any eggs depending on their age, but at least you know you have a pair.

yeah I also have 2 others in there and I have no idea if they are male or female, I need to find someone local to sex them guys for me and would you know where I can buy a new river from? I can't seem to find them, I bought 1 from a somewhat local guy and prefer not doing much more with them he just seem like a "puppy mill" with his frogs I bought 2 luecs from them and within days 1 died

I never had success getting mine to breed under a cocohut. Once I would find a clutch, the pair would not lay there again. I added a small dish of water to the viv, and would collect tads after the male would transport them. Every so often you would be surprised and see a new froglet just show up one day! My male sometimes dropped off a tad in a brom.
