ive had these guys for over a year and i just started getting some breeding action. ive actually got eggs in a cup right now. i originally purchased two, but on the notion that they would be a good group frog in my 29 gallon viv, i added four to the group. they were all added at the same time to try and deter territorial disputes, but it didnt work out. they slowly were picked off one by one, by the dominant pair. now that there is only one pair, they are getting down to business.

heres the important stuff...pics

ive trimmed and pruned their vivi, but here is the most up to date pic i have of it handy

ill get some more pics up of it once i get the uploaded.

Congrats on the viv and the eggs!

they have been out in the open more lately. when i first got them they were always out. im sad to say that was prolly fighting over territories. when i got down to 3 or 4, i didnt see them much. i think they were hunkered down in their territories. sometimes i could go a week without seeing one. now that there are two, i almost always see them. i can at least find them with a little effort. i would say they are pretty shy though, but very active. they are always out when i come in the room. its just a matter of if i scare them into hiding or not. some times they will come back out if im not right in front of the tank and im pretty still. they do come out shortly after fedding, sometimes even if im staring into the tank looking for them.

i also have azureus. they are definatly bold, and they are just froglets. ill get some pics up of them tommorrow.

ive aslo kept auratus in the past and golden mantellas (not darts but similar catagory

)
