Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Breeding Thread

My Vents seem to be slow learners lol. They were in a cup about to deposit some eggs, but stupid me didn't see them in there in time and opened the tank to mist. They decided I was rude and stopped all that mess for the day it seemed. Hoping to get a clutch tomorrow. I have changed a few things with their canisters for this next clutch so hopefully They (and I) have better luck.

Where did yours deposit their eggs? Lots of conflicting information out there. This time I angled all the canisters at a 45 degrees and one of them is sitting horizontal. They were in the horizontal one this morning.

They were deposited into the film canister in the top left, exactly how it is sitting in the picture. I am also finding lots of conflicting info, especially on tadpole care (which i am doing a lot of research on at the moment) I have also read that breeding the Black Waters has been proven difficult and unsuccessful from what i have read on some online forums, i guess i got lucky.

I'm going to check the cannister in a few days to see if they deposit anymore, i wouldnt be surprised if there is some in the broms.

Mine lay a new clutch nearly every 2 weeks (give or take a day). Several sites said to setup the canisters with distilled water. I had failures 3 clutches in a row with that method. The canisters are now in 4 spots around the tank and I am letting some water from the misting to collect in the bottom. One of the canisters is setup laying nearly horizontal. That one is the one the male has been spending a lot of time these last few days in and around. I wont be surprised to find eggs in there in the next day or 2. Hoping that I have better luck.

Your not quite tadpoles look great! Keep me in the loop on how they progress

Still waiting on the next clutch. I was a jerk and opened the tank to mist and caught them in the act. They quickly stopped and have taken a break. The last few days the male has been calling like crazy so I have kept my distance so I don't spoil the mood again.... Stupid human
