Agalychnis annae

[earthtiger]

Hi,

short update:
the tadpoles develop very well. Only in the first two days I had 5 or 6 losses, probably "aftermath" from the hatching.
They also have grown remarkabely.










Yesterday, I put some in a small pond and in a rain barrel in the garden to see, how they develop there. I will net them, short before the metamorphoses.

kind regards,
Martin

Like how many tadpoles you got there? seems very few for Agalychnis annae, Mine laid two huge egg masses, you can see a video of my tadpoles here: Agalychnis annae tadpoles - YouTube

No, it's just that this frogs lay a lot of eggs compared to the other Agalychnis, i bred A. annae two times and the two times i got around 300-350 tadpoles so i'm just curious about how many you got there.

These are not all of my tadpoles. Only from one tank while cleaning it.

from one female? How many unfertile eggs?

What are you doing with all the froglets? I think there are not so many frog keepers in Costa Rica!?

Nice video, thanks for sharing it!

Yes just from one female, one huge mass of around 200 eggs and onother smaller of around 100, only about 10-15 unfertile eggs, it was funny cause all the unfertile eggs were together at the top of the masses.

I will release this tadpoles like the first time i bred them, this time in a remote coffe plantation near my house which is far from the city, there they have some plastic tubes i planted in the ground where they are actually breeding. There are no frog keepers here in Costa Rica, just some people who bred them to help certain populations of frogs like Brian Kubicki from the CRARC In situ Conservation Projects | Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center

Great job

I had also some egg clutches, where the top eggs didn't develop / wheren't fertile.

I would love to see some habitat shots, if you have.
