Best beginner frogs?

[T3RR1B1L15]

Dendrobates leucomelas seem to be very good beginners' frogs. They are attractive, social, easily bred, and don't have any specialized requirements unique to them (like pumilio need bromeliads and some tincs need flowing water).
Other very good frogs for beginners are tincs (including azureus), most Phyllobates species, and auratus.
I'd go with the leucomelas myself, but tincs and terribilis are close rivals for the title of "best beginner frog".

i'd say leucs as well. Very bold and active. Mine are out pretty much the whole time the light is on. Everything has been hit on that you need to know. Main staple of food is fruit fly. I feed melo's as they culture easy and reproduce faster than hydei and are smaller. You'll want to use distilled,RO, or bottled water to make your ff cultures. Mist with RO or distilled and that really about it. Throw down some leaf litter as your top soil layer and toss in a coco hut, seed with springtails. Let your plants establish in the viv for at least a month before adding frogs. Very easy to care for. I spot clean poop and the glass about once a week. Pretty much do my cleaning and FF culturing on sundays

Thanks a lot! Leucomelas it is! Great to hear how successful you all have been with them without doing too much work.

I think all the suggestions were good. If you have raised fish you will probably do well with frogs because they are easier in my opinion. I am hoping to get some additional frogs I am thinking about what I want to get. Maybe some people can post their favorite frogs and say why they are their favorites.

Well for boldness and their personality, my zarayunga anthonyi are my favorite... But for looks and and general coolness, it would have to be my uakarii. It's all personal prefrence, lots of people like the big tinctorius and dendrobates while I'm a more of a ranitomeya and epipedobates type of guy. Good luck with your darts and remember to always stick to a schedule when you are making fruit flies...
