    Default Azureus

    Isn't D. azureus just a color morph of D tinctorius?

    Yes, that is a new development and those of us that grew up with D.azureus find it hard to change. It is correctly D.tinctorius(azureus) D.galactonotus was once a morph of Tinctorius but is now A.galactonotus. We'll see if this sticks. All PDF's are constantly being reconfigured as more is learned every year.

    Thanks. I was wondering because I wanted to keep 2 frogs in a 10-gallon tank. I wanted 2 cobalt tinctorius but my mom and one of my brothers wanted me to get a cobalt tinctorius and an azureus. I explained to them the compatibility issue with D. tinctorius, but now I guess I can keep both frogs together. Hooray.

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. Pick one or the other kind and get two of those. If you got one of each kind and they interbreed, no one who is in the dart frog hobby will want to buy the offspring - there is a big anti-hybrid feeling in the hobby.

    Also, keep in mind that two tinctorius of the same sex, no matter what race they are, will almost always fight. In the case of females, this is almost always to the death of one of them.

    John hit the nail on the head here, these two are aggressive and will fight. Pick one species.

    Paul means of course, pick one race rather than species, since they are the same species.

    Oh. If that's the case, I guess I'll just get two cobalt tincs then. Thanks for the help.

    They cannot be the same sex. They will be fine until they start to mature and then you will likely have problems. Be prepared to seperate them if you get unsexed froglets. Cobalts aren't that expensive so get a sexed pair or one sex now and then the other later.
