    Imitating Dart Frog, Ranitomeya imitator / Dendrobates imitator (Schulte, 1986) - Care and Breeding

    by John



    Is this article one that can be used for Orange lamasi? I bought two young ones this past weekend and want a good care sheet since I have "auratus" and "leucs." Right now they are in a 5-gal tank until I clean and set up a 10 gal. I have not used in a while. John recommends 20-gal. for two. Is that right? I have found I love bigger tanks but they do take up the room. The 25 watt bulb on the tank cover heats it up over 80 degrees so I just use it in morning and turn it off when temp reaches 80. Humidity is 78 with a glass cover.

    One thing I do like about a 5-gal tank is it is setting on my kitchen counter and adds to the decor, plus I can see the little frogs when they are active.

    That info all applies to lamasi. I would consider a 10g a minimum for a pair. A 5 gallon is too small for long term housing in my opinion.

    How much are the exect dimensions of a 10g tank ?
    If it's less of 14"x14"x18" inchese, it is a too small tank.
    They may be small animals, but they are very active, and, in a too small tank, you can't event grow plants !
