This is a newer species of dart frogs kept to be kept in captivity in the US but is quite popular in Europe and originates from Brazil. There is some controversy over this species regarding its origin and presence in the hobby. However, mine were sourced through Patrick Nabors. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

They can reach a size of up to 2 inches. They are found in the rainforest and tributaries of Brazil. These are one of my favorite morphs and a lot of variation can be seen in these from spots to no spots, to the variety of blue, yellow and greens. These are a bold frog and tend to be terrestrial, but any frog will use the space it is provided. Mine love to climb everywhere in the tank! They have a quiet call and will readily breed if the conditions are right.

Use a cocohut and petri dish for them to lay their eggs in and remove them to raise outside of the tank, or collect the tadpoles (however I find pulling the eggs is easier). These are best kept in a pair but groups can work if the tank is big enough. Take care to watch for aggressive behavior in case any frogs need to be removed and house separately. This is also one of the easier frogs to sex as males have wide finger disks compared to the female and a more defined back structure. Females tend to be larger and have cleavage in the chest region. They can reach sexual maturity within 10-16 months and will lay eggs every 5-10 days with clutch sizes ranging from 3-10 eggs. Metamorphosis takes on average 100 days from tadpole to froglet. This species tends to enhoy a water feature and high humidity.

Humidity: 80-100%

Temperature 68-78°F, night time drops to 65°F are okay

Food: Melanogaster, Hydeii for adults, springtails and dwarf white isopods
