Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Breeding Thread

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
