They are most likely M. ebenaui. They were my fist mantella. They are relatively hardy. Great frogs. Mine were bold and active, but Paul's were very secretive.

They are more of a challenge to breed that darts. They need to be cycled through seasons, much like a tree frog. In my experience, they are much more sensitive to temps. They are also most likely wc frogs, which poses another challenge. My 4 M. baroni I had were wc and just never seemed to acclimate.

That being said, remember, they were just my experiences. Josh (mantellaguy) is truly tops in the field when it comes to them and hopefully he'll pop in and offer better advice than I can.
