I'm really jealous, I wish I had the space for new tanks.They finally got the right tank in and exchanged it.
Now I get to start on a couple new builds! One18x18x24" and two 36x18x24" (can't do those until I get a new rack setup)
I need a new rack before I can set them permanently up, but that's a problem for later lol.I'm really jealous, I wish I had the space for new tanks.
Even thinking about a whole rack of enclosures would be utopian for me.

I have no idea where the 4th frog spends its nights though...
What I do with my Ranitomeya is leave the eggs in the tank for a week (or so) then pull them.The first clutch of eggs since I got into the hobby!!! YAY!

Just discovered it, it's very early in the morning here. They must have laid it yesterday when my little Casanova and one of his girls basically spent the whole evening in that film canister.
Now, I'm actually not sure what to do? Do I get it out? Or should I leave it in there because it might go bad anyway but to help the frogs to learn to care for it? What would you do?
Side note: Isn't it cute that 3 of my 4 Ranis always spent their night together in that bromeliad?
Sounds like a plan... but could you explain to me why you wait a week?
That's adorable!
I wait a week to see if the eggs are viable. If they are starting to develop then I pull them, if they aren't developing then I leave them.Sounds like a plan... but could you explain to me why you wait a week?
Is it to let them care for the eggs for a while? And when the eggs haven't gone bad by then chances are better they'll develop further?
Oh, and is there a particular good trick/practise to get them out of the container?
That's adorable!
How do you see if they're developing? They're so tiny.
It was more like 'how do you remove them from the film canisters?' With a spoon? Flush them out? Gosh, this is all so new and exciting!
Afaik, R. variabilis should transport their tads as well and then leave them alone, but I'm not sure if they would actually use provided water cups or just use broms. Which would be inconvenient as I can't look into most of the broms.For my Ranitomeya sirensis I leave the eggs with the parents since they'll transport them into water cups for me ;-)
And I really don't want to be surprised by dozens of flighty little frogs I can't get out of the viv. It will probably happen anyway at some point, but for now I'm gonna pull those eggs and see if I can raise them myself.

Within dart frogs, it ranges (from what I've read) from 10 to over 20 years. There are people who've had frogs that were already adults when they acquired them for 20 years.
