Daniel ---of course he is just adorable.
Aren't the imis so entertaining!
Enjoy!

Watch out for escape attempts. They are very clever!

Haha, thanks for the late warning, Lynn . One of them escaped the first day while the original owner was showing me them. Than again the other day while I was putting fruit flies in. I get so scared that I'm gonna squash the little things when I try to catch them.

Yikes! I get scared too

I count heads! I have a female that rides the door of the exo!
You will have more tricks up your sleeve then them
Just develop good habits of knowing where they are before you open.
Be sure there are no small openings anywhere; they WILL find them.

Warning! Never work on, do a big cleaning, or planting in the tank when they are in it.
Set up a temp container, use a turkey baster to move them before your work.
Just put some - flat- wet paper towel on the bottom of the temp set up.

I cleaned ( weeded / pruned) and did some planting in 2 tanks this AM --- for the imitators and the auratus.
I used to think it would stress them out to move them.

But it stresses me out more NOT to
So....... out they went .......... back in when I was done ----- safe and sound !!

Quick question. My 100% male Variabilis is chasing the other variabilis around and croaking as he is doing so. I have not heard any calling coming from the other one and I have not seen any fighting. Does this sound like a male displaying for the female?

That's great !
Chime in...........let us know if you need any help.
Are you planning to pull them or let the the parents raise them?
Sometimes the first is not fertilized

You will want to collect your tadpole water supplies:

I use:
distilled water
Indian almond leaves ( check NEHerp)
Tetra "black water" extract - aquarium supply

You cursed me, Lynn.

Don't think these eggs are any good. They have a fuzzy look to them. I was gonna let the parents care for them.

I got almond leaves somewhere around here. Ill have to get the tetra.

Thanks for the Info.
