NOOB with Cobalt eggs. HELP!

i was just reading this article so i could try to help you when i realized that it would be more beneficial if you got the whole thing! so here it is: Josh’s Frogs How-To Guides » Blog Archive » Caring for Poison Dart Frog Eggs hope it helps! good luck

I found that article a couple days after I posted this. I now have 3 hatched tadpoles in their own cups. (I think the first 2 might be dead though. I think I should have left them on the petri dish a little longer). Thanks though!!

you're welcome. good luck! I hope he lives!!

Thankfully, my frogs laid the eggs on a nice, flat leaf that I can easily remove from the main tank. I know tadpoles will wiggle off the leaf once they hatch, but I'm at a loss as to how to suspend each egg over each cup. Also, how long do eggs usually take to hatch? These are only 1-2 days old (although I'd guess they are more like <24 hours). ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Basically, I have eggs in my tank; what now?

Hi EllyHood,
Congrats!
You might PM John?

He was swimming around this morning so I'm pretty sure he's going to make it. I'm going to let the others hang out on the dish a while before transferring them to their containers so I don't loose them like the first 2. There are 3 left from the first clutch that need to hatch, and 5 from the second clutch.
