In one of my previous threads, fishingguy12345 suggested that I might be happier with a group of ranitomeya like his sirensis (Rio Pachitea Yellow, if I can spell) than the D. auratus I had initially been thinking about. In his setup they behave fairly boldly and spend a lot of time climbing all over the place, which does sound like fun, and I love the sound of their call (at least, filtered through the internet). However there are frogs with a much more appealing look to me (I prefer either orange or green to yellow, for one) and I'm also concerned whether a ranitomeya species is a good choice for a first frog.
So, my questions are:
Are there other species or morphs of ranitomeya that have similar personalities to the frogs fishingguy12345 has?
Do the different morphs of sirensis tend to have similar personalities, or not?
How much more difficult is it to keep ranitomeya than auratus? (I wouldn't be looking for any of the super rare, hard to find or keep ones, anyway, but in terms of the commonly available ranitomeyas in the US)
(This is for a 24x18x24 exo terra, btw - I haven't actually built anything yet as I'm still waiting for a drill bit to install my drain bulkhead - hopefully this week!)
Thanks!
Anna
