Dart breeding: What is the highest frequency you've witnessed?
I am not new to the world of amphibians (newts especially are a lifelong passion), but I am new to dart frogs. I recently picked a pair of young Epipedobates anthonyi (labeled as tricolors) and carefully selected them based on appearance. I went for the smallest but most colorful one, and the fattest biggest most colorful one. Turns out, not only did I pick correctly, but pair enjoyed their new home so much that a day later, their first clutch was laid and fertilized. I've had them for a bit over a month now, and like clockwork, every Friday evening they do a tour of the Viv and pick a spot together where the female will lay her eggs. So far all clutches have been mostly fertile. Is this frequency common?? It seems excessive!

Hahaha, ive read a lot about this species and yes that seems about exactly what i read.
Very active breeders, weekly clutches.
Ive read they are referred to as the rabbits of the dart frog community.
Enjoy!
