C. ornata vs. C. cornuta?

[GrifTheGreat]

What exactly makes C. Cornuta more than a challenge?

Mike is right. He has one and regularly force feeds her. Most of them appear completely healthy and then just die of unknown causes. They are expert level frogs.

An adult Red or Green Ornate are awesome royal looking frogs. The Cornuta has more of a librarian look and are very challenging to keep healthy. Myself don't like force feeding anything, so I stay clear of the later.

If you really want one that bad; then get a CBB baby and do find out what foods they are eating so you start with that diet. If their parents where treated against parasites and Chytrid; you might have a clean one to start with; but I would still do a fecal and test for Chytrid just to be sure. Good luck !

don't rule out cranwelli can get some beautiful frogs with this group

There are a variety of colors and personalities with the various species, but Cornuta tend to be a Pariah among the rest. Interaction with then usually just results with stressing them out.

You could also look into finding an aurita, but be prepared to pay out some money. They are not cheap. Their feeding responce is sometimes considered moderate, but I have one that is pretty aggressive when shes hungry. They are quite colorful and like a bit cooler temps with high humidity.

I really like how the red and green Ornates look. I'm kinda thinking I'll look for either an Ornate or a Pyxie.. How well do Ornates generally eat, and do they tend to fast in the winter?
