Introducing my Tinc metamorphs

Great photos. The colouring on your frogs is just amazing. Do you plan on doing your own breeding? I honestly think you have a great handle on photography-thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to update us with these gorgeous frogs!!

Jace-

I truly appreciate your feedback, and kind words! I absolutely plan to breed them! The oldest is only about a month old. I have some time to wait before I can start watching for breeding behaviour. If all goes well, I will have a group of 4, but the last to morph will be about 2-3 months younger than the first. Does this pose any problems?

I will be posting the pics in the(appropriate place) "Gallery" section from now on as well.... Sorry John...

Thanks again!

Hello and welcome to the forum JBear . Lovely looking frogs and I agree with Jace, great photo's. Thank you for sharing.

Those are beautiful frogs. Hopefully you'll end up with two pairs. When they're 3 to 6 months old, they can be sexed by the size/shape of their toe pads and their relative size. Although tinc froglets normally do well in groups, adult females are very territorial and will fight and eat one another's eggs. It is best to keep them in pairs. Some folks have luck with a trio of two males and one female, and this is most successful with a group, like yours, that grows up together.

Keep an eye out for one or more of the froglets not gaining as much weight or growing as fast as the others. They will develop a pecking order and subtle intimidation can keep the submissive frogs under stress and less likely to eat. If you notice any aggression or lack of growth, it'd be best to separate them.

One last thing. You can never overfeed tinc froglets, so make sure to offer them as much as they can eat every day. And I'm sure you know this, but calcium and vitamin supplements are critical for froglet growth. Fruit flies and other food can be dusted daily with calcium and a couple of times a week with vitamin supplements. And, most folks alternate between supplement brands, particularly calcium.

I'm sure you'll be showing us pictures of egss and tads early next year. Good luck.
