Many people keep them together when the frogs are young and even as adults. The concern you have to look out for is if your group contains 2 females. This more times than not sets the stage for a battle of dominance. The battles can be very subtle in the beginning as the females mature and easy to miss allowing for a decline in one of the frogs health.

thank you for the info. I'm look looking for something that could be kept in large group without having to worry about the sex. Probably just have to stick with the leuc frogs. Friend of mine was showing me her cobalt 1 female 2 male. they were a lot of fun to watch.

The females will literally wrestle and fight the weaker to the ground, along with intimidation and aggressive stances till it drives away the competitor.
