Your leucs are probably still adjusting to their new environment, with a little time a patience they should get used to it and will be bold and eating regularly.

I checked out that website, I was wondering where did you come across this in the fist place? The site looks great, but imo I don't like them. For the fact that they are purposely breeding/selling couple of morphs with genetic mutations that aren't found in the wild. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

For you posting pics question, you can follow this thread

how to add pics/videos to site/posts

Well I have no idea if they are mutating genetics but I live 1 hour away so -35 bucks for shipping also they supply the national zoo so I thought they were reliable and the frogs are In great health from what I can tell but honestly have no idea about the breding thing.

Yes, I very may be wrong. I've only been keeping darts for 6MO. But I've been researching for about a year now.

Although I probably would've set that aside and do the same thing if they were that close to me

I have 3 leucs... got lucky 2 males 1 female (from surian.net). They are bold calling frogs. I've got them in 29 gal viv w/ 3 broms, prayer plant, philodendrom, java moss, wondering jew, some other plant (I think a form of pathos plant) drift wood, 2 coco huts with egg laying lid underneath, sprouting saphgnum moss and some sort of hijacker fern. Humidity is kept high ( daily hand misting, condensation on the glass so thick, have to squeege it to see in tank). Feed dusted fruit flies every other day ( try for daily, sometimes doesn't get done) Temps range from 70 degress to about 78 degrees ( wood stove in same room causes variation)
They are active however, they have been hiding more recently...
Female is laying eggs every 3 weeks (approximately).
I think once your frogs adapted to their environment, they will be more visisble. Give it time...

Going out on a limb here... definitely not the popular "spoken" way of housing... If you keep mixed morph frogs, be sure not to sell any frogs as pure breed. It really is important to keep "pure" blood lines. If you keep or bought from mixed morph suppliers, please advertise as such.
I keep one tank of Leucs and Auratus together. If I were to sell any possible mixed morph offspring, I would advertise as such.
After this statement, I'll expect some bashing on this forum. For all the "bashers", be sure I would not advertise any frogs as "pure" bloodlines if they are not.
