Dart frog Q

[sansoucie]

Ok, I haven't been into darts in quite a while, so I have a q for anyone who may know thats currently into them. Are these prices reasonable:

D. Auratus standard Hawaiian CB 2-3 mos $25
D. Leucomeias Orange banded CB 6 wks $30
Phyllobatest Terribilis Mint CB 6 wks $40

Thanks
Melissa

Those are great prices. Although, you MIGHT be able to do better...im not sure.

Those prices are pretty average, but watch when buying older froglets (like the 3-6 month D. aratus you mention) that you don't get all males.

Hmmm what'll happen?



I had only gotten sexed pairs years ago and only kept 2 per 5 gal arboreal enclosure. Now I think I may go bigger....

Nothing bad will happen, but males don't live as long, are noisier, and of course can't breed without females.

Bigger = good! A 20+ gallon aquarium can make one hell of a nice display piece if you're willing to spend the time and money on it.

Well this guy out here works with a co that does the children's aquarium and other commercial things with plexiglass. I am gonna have him give me a quote on a 25 gallon total arboreal tank. That should be pretty tall rather than having floor space. I can do the fountain in the floor or a mister... haven't decided!
