Curious, anyone seen this before? (Interesting Dart Frog Behavior)

[tonyball]

I have one of my tanks setup as a paludarium and noticed that my guppies had given birth to babies. while watching to see if I could tell how many were in there, I noticed one of my Cobalts was watching as well and not only was he watching he was trying to catch them when they would swim by, I never did see him catch any but I was curious to see if he would actually eat it if he did manage to grab one and thought that his behavior was interesting to say the least, even though I know they are attracted to movement.

I have watched my mantellas jump into the water in my palu's to go fishing for fruit flies quite often, so I'm not surprised that your darts would go for guppy fry.

I think it's been so pounded into folk that dart frogs and water are bad, that we forget that they are indeed amphibians and will hunt on land and water. It's awesome that you got to view that natural behavior.

Very cool. I would love to see this in a tank but it doesn't seem like it would happen to often. Have your frogs caught any yet?
