Thinkin' about breeding tree frogs!

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

I'm thinking about breeding a South/Central American tree frog species, and basically I need some help deciding what to choose. My current choices are Phyllomedusa tomopterna, Dendrosophus leucophyllatus, Hyalinobatrachium sp., or Hylomantis lemur. Which should I choose for my first tree frog breeding project?

My vote is Phyllomedusa tomopterna

Go for the Lemurs...they are really cool looking...and then you could give me some.

I think I'm going to take it upon myself to breed Hylomantis lemur-mostly because I guess they're critically endangered and stuff. Can someone provide me with any links on how to keep and breed them?

They quite easy to breed. Pretty much the same as other Agalychnis species. Follow directions for breeding Red eye tree frogs.

Cheri-I'm probably/hopefully going to wind up working with two species of tree frogs, as I think I'm going to divide my spare 55g tank into three sections-one for a pair of thumbnail darts, one for a single pair of tree frogs, and the last section for a tree frog pair of a different species. Assuming my first species is H. lemur, what should my second species be?

[bshmerlie]

It's gotta be Milk frogs or Clowns.....just for the cool factor. Actually Milks will be too big for your space...that leaves the Clowns.

Cheri-I would love to work with Clown tree frogs, and I probably will when I have more time and resources, but at the moment I'm looking to breed the tree frogs I work with-preferably a species that has 100 eggs or less. With that having been said, do you have any other suggestions?

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

Alright, now what I'm thinking is that I am going to get a pair of Phyllomedusa tomopterna and then use the money I (hopefully) get from that endeavor to fund my Hylomantis lemur breeding project! Any questions, comments, suggestions?
