    Default Different types of pacmans?

    How many different types of pacman frogs are there in the pet trade? I don't mean morphs but the different species or hybrids cranwelli, aurita(needs to be cheaper),ornate, corunata, caatanga, fantasy hybrid. What others are there?

    There are 8 species of Ceratophrys horned frogs so far:

    You've named 5 species not counting hybrids, and those 5 species except for C. aurita are pretty common in the pet trade for the most part.

    Of the three unnamed species, I believe C. stolzmanni is the only one species left that you haven't mentioned that can be found in the pet trade, but super rare for sure. Although currently unavailable, Understory Enterprises do used to sell these guys: Ceratophrys stolzmanni | Understory Enterprises
    Who knows, they might have it again.

    The other two species, C. calcarata and C. testudo, I have not heard them being in the pet trade but doesn't mean that they aren't there.

    When it comes to hybrids, Grif and Mikesfrog taught me that there's Green Apple (caatinga x cranwelli), unfortunately these Apples tend to have health issues and don't last very long. Also, I heard there's the cranwelli x ornata mix, and I wonder if breeders have tried ornata x cornuta mix?

    I luckily have a Green Apple that so far has no issues other than he has a UTI that I'm treating him for. He eats well and is active, BUT he doesn't look like most Green Apples due to the fact that I believe he was bred by one of his parents possibly being either a Brown Joazeirensis or Brown Cranwelli, but there is no way for me to be certain. He changes from Green to chocolate off and on, but maintains his bright Apple colored stripes.
