Agreed - - I have a feeling a hybrid of Borealis and Laevis occurred - - and if it IS a hybrid, would they be able to breed?

Re: New frogs a'coming!
Don´t know if they are capebel of breeding. But I wouldn´t do that cause then you create only more hybrids.

Re: New frogs a'coming!
They female's colors in particular are stunning in person - a lovely green with spotting and then a yellow underside....
If I could get her trait to carry on it would make some pretty offspring. That is how we got all the variety we have now - by breeding the "oddballs"

Re: New frogs a'coming!
how do you like your borealis ? I'm seriously ( six months now ) thinking about getting a group of borealis and a group of tropicalis ... i've got a few empty tanks open . I hear tropicalis love to bask on floating plants , lilly pads ,etc.
Re: New frogs a'coming!
I enjoy both species and have had both for the past couple of years. The borealis appreciate basking areas also.
The male borealis make a VERY loud clicking mating call - I recommend not having that tank in your bedroom!

That is very funny! I named my African Bullfrog "Stilgar" from a character in "Dune" and plan to name other frogs from same novel.Originally Posted by Jenste
Think breeding hybrids or color morph's would not be bad if breeders and sellers would label their offerings properly. Problem is many are passed as regular or true species to unknowing buyers and that isn't right. BTW; do you still have your Freddie Krueger hybrids? Been looking for a local source but the only found one on net in USA is a wholesaler. Thank you!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Re: New frogs a'coming!
I still have the three hybrids and the new borealis. I have not tried breeding them yet because they are still new to me and I will probably hold off on attempting it untl next year. I will probably try mating a hybrid with a laevis and a borealis to see what the offspring look like.

Re: New frogs a'coming!
Do you have pictures of your borealis and tropicalis and their aquariums ?
