Re: Breeding
This species can be frustrating. I wll however remind you of JC's ABF article. There are some things that cannot escape what we wish to do, and how things actually work. (less, and including hormone therapy).
You will need to grow a group of young animals, or, you wll need to provide proper amounts of nourishisment to recent adult imports. They will need a dormancy period,
which allows a completion of Endocrine system maturity for successfull spawning.
Its not any more difficult than it is easy, you do however need an idea of normal biology, and species specific requirements.
My attempts with these resulted in 3 females consuming 3 males. After which the females released ova in the breedng chamber. ( husbandry errors )
They produce large eggs with low numbers < 300, so even a moderately prepared hobbyist would be able to manage the larvae.
As far as food for the larvae, stick wth live blackworms, tubifex, and have lots of frozen bloodworms, as you can afford, and investigate other protein sources cautiously.
Besides the frogs you need to accomplish this, you need dedication, persistance,
and patience.
GO FOR IT !!
