I haven't seen many adult Fantacy Pacs. Especially not that size. Since they are not quite as hardy and more stress prone I guess a lot of peoples don't make it. I don't see Fantacies for sell in my area though or I would try my hand at one.

I have a question though...is it true that fantasies are said to be mules?

That is the accepted belief. See I don't know of anyone who has attempted to breed Fantacy frogs. I don't even think I've ever heard. Anyone say that they call or show interest in breeding. So it is assumed that they are mules. Someone would need to have quite a few Fantacies as adults and put them through conditioning(Aestivation) and then attempt to breed. I don't know if this has been attempted. I'm not even sure that the males develope nuptual pads when they reach sexual maturity or if sexual maturity even takes place with Fantacies. As far as I know actual Mules do not sho interest in breeding so perhaps the same can be said about Fantacy frogs.

So there's no hope for her if in fact shes a girl to breed. =(

I'm not an expert and do not know of any proven info that that states that they are barren or steril. it is believed that they are mules, but like I said I do not know of any proof. It is just belief as far as I know. You could still try, but mules show no interest in breeding sort of like they lack those specific hormones and therefore do not feel the need to breed. Someone has possibly tried to brred them and that is more than likely where they were labled mules. Could have been a failed attempt though. If there is scientific proof I haven't seen it yet.
