Imitator Pair "2", first eggs

[John]

My second pair of Dendrobates imitator "Tarapoto" race frogs laid their first eggs yesterday. They were younger than the other pair that first laid in January (this thread). Here are the eggs in a bromeliad axil:



Mother (yes she's more orange than the male - in both pairs the females are more orange than their mates):

Thanks Matt!

Absolutely awesome! The parents are beautiful.

Sadly, these eggs turned out to be infertile, as did the next two. Egg number 5 was laid the day before yesterday and the jury is still out. I think the fact that the female is so young is the problem factor.

Bummer.

Gorgeous frogs. I hope your luck improves on the eggs.

Those are one of my favorite imitators. They are normally great breeders once they figure things out. Are the the Tor Lin line or Understory?

Understory. My other pair's first tadpoles are a week or two off metamorphosis so I'm not complaining .
