    Hey thanks! I hadn't seen the orange ones, and had looked at those but had decided against them because they ones I had seen were just plain green. Really want something that is easy to find in there, since the tank is so large and tiny frog hunting can really take a lot of out of my "spying" time! :-)

    I'll add them onto my list and keep doing my research! Thanks so much for your quick reply. This is gonna be fun!!

    No problem. Glad I could help.

    The Terribilis are pretty big I think, I've never actually seen one in person so I couldn't tell ya how big they get. There are other ones that are like Mint colored, yellow with green legs, maybe another I'm not sure. When I first started looking at darts tincs were my favorites then the more I looked at the phyllobates they really started to grow on me. I really like Fine Spot Leucs too. Which I also hear do great in groups and have a really cool call.

    I swear I'm not advertising for josh, haha. They just have the best pictures and price ideas. I know another guy who breeds the fine spots I'll send you a link to his youtube page.

    The Leucs are pretty high up on my list... seem fun and active, fairly hardy, sourced pretty easily...

    If you seem to take a liking to red frogs, why not try Epipedobates Tricolor, which I hear live extremely well in groups.

    Great idea for a thread. A lot of folks who walk into a pet shop never consider the psychological profile of the creature they want to purchase. IE the local pet shop here will sell anything to anyone without giving any level of education to the purchaser. There are certain species of amphibians who can be easily handled and who don't mind a great deal the human handler and will suffer little stress. Then there are other species that are timid, shy and easily stressed. They may be the type of pet that should be given a decent home and observed but not handled too often. The person getting the animal needs to keep in mind the level of interaction that is good / not good for the critter and respect that or they may end up with a very stressed out, unhealthy and eventually dead critter.
