Nice frog. D. Leucomelas are my favorite. They were my first dart frog and I will always have at least three or four of them.

How many others do you have?

Thanks for stopping in and having a look, I currently have only 2 Leucomelas but I do have several other species of darts and that number is somewhere between 75 to 100 frogs and froglets

Gosh , Tony
I wish you lived closer.
Mine have become quite comfortable and proficient at procreating

They ,very recently, decided they were ready
In the past month:
5 tads out of the enclosure
5 eggs developing , nicely - out of the enclosure
more eggs in the enclosure - found today .....sigh

I have 2 females ( 3 males ) .............eggs disappear quickly if I don't move them
Oh those beastly girls!!!!!

I never knew......... that ...this is what happens when you mix sexes

BTW---- someday --- hopefully a long time from now --- I will move my leucs to one of my 36"H exos
They LOVE to climb.

That's awesome! I hope this new group produces better than the current group I have, seems to me that I read somewhere Leucs are season breeders and based on what you say about eggs disappearing I probably need to check the huts more often

It's funny you updating and what you've said in your post...

I myself am building up what I call a super colony of standard, nominant Leucs. This colony will be for my own personal enjoyment and any offspring will stay with me. What I'm doing is buying 2-3 frogs from different breeders/lines, maybe 4-5, and have them all together in a large enclosure. I already have the aquarium. It's a 210 gallon and the dimensions are roughly 72x24x29. I've had this aquarium for several months and have been trying to decide what to do with it. I actually took the aquarium from someone to pay off his debt to me when I used to raise African Cichlids. I used to barter quite a bit and I'm still trying to squeeze my money out of some of these guys.

It's going to be a daunting task trying to set the whole thing up but I'm going to do it. My biggest problem is constructing the background. I'm not really good at it.

I'm not sure when I'm going to start but I'll keep you posted if and when I begin it.
