This is one of my favorite photos. It's a male pumilio and two of the tadpoles have climbed on his back with two others waiting. This species actually raises its own tadpoles in bromiliad pools. The tadpoles can only survive on unfertilized eggs that the mother lays in each bromiliad. These are small species - with adults about the size of juveniles leucomela or auratus. I had pretty good success with this pair.
