Awesome for you Paul! Sorry about the first two clutches, but I'm sure this one will work out

Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Breeding Thread
The male has spent a fair amount of time in the canister. I caught it empty yesterday and snapped a quick picture. I am using a flash to get these so I am going to limit the pictures I take until they either make it to tadpole stage and get moved or fail, but here is the Picture from 10-16-2014

Keep it up Paul! I am really hoping that you get it to work out and get lots of pretty froglets
Re: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Breeding Thread
Well 7 of the 8 eggs have failed and the 8th one doesn't look good. The research I did pointed to the Vents commonly laying the eggs in water. I have let the last 3 clutches stay in the water they were played in and have had nothing but failure. Lynn has been giving me great advice through this and until we read that had discussed keeping the eggs out of standing water, but decided to leave them be if that is where they were being deposited. Well this last clutch was the final test of the submerged egg method. I have emptied all the film canister of water and am taking great care to not get any excess water in them. I will do my best to keep the next clutch moist but not swimming and hopefully will break through this invisible wall that is killing the eggs.
2 weeks or so and we should be able to star this all over from the beginning.
Paul
