Couple of new frogs

Ranotimeya lamasi & adelphobates quinquevittatus, respectively. The lamasi were in their new viv for about 45 minute before they started calling. I might have baby frogs soon. I didn't get a shot of their backs. I love the quinqs, but they're a shy species. I don't suspect I'll be seeing them very often. All of these frogs are about 1.5cm from nose to butt.

 

Thanks everyone. The lamasis have been calling all day. I keep thinking someone left a cell phone over by the vivs.

 

The bright coloring is meant to attract predators, but not as prey. It's a "holy cow stay away from that bright thing because it's poisonous". These are poison dart frogs, but they are innocuous in captivity because of their different diet.

 

This species comes from Peru, but in general, dart frogs come from Central & South America. I feed them a flightless strain of fruit flies. I also seeded the tank with springtails which hopefully have a sustainable population by now. Flies are the meals, springs are the snacks.

 

I completely agree. Quinqs are beautiful and underappreciated. I hope that I have at least a sexed pair in the 4 that I acquired.

It's looking like I need to separate the yellow and orange ones. Hybridization (even of different locality populations of the same species) is a big no-no with frogs.

 

I HAVE EGGS!
