    Hi,

    the Pipas are doing great. Unfortunately, there is only one female, but they already spawned. They are living in a 30 gal tank with a few neon tetras, six Otocinclus and five Corydoras habrosus. Unlike ADFs, those little guys don´t feel uneasy if fish are present

    Wow, never seen this species before. Cool toads. Is the last photo a female with eggs on her back?

    Hi,

    yes, the eggs sink into the female´s skin. After a few weeks the tadpoles (P. parva and other species) or froglets (e.g. in P. pipa) hatch, so the reproduction behaviour is very interesting. Besides, they´re very active and brave. All in all, they make great pets.
