Terribilis Questions

Of course, no mixing species here...

Thanks for the info!

Didn't realize I could keep so many together. Now I'm REALLY excited!!! Time to start planning the viv.

Just to have said it

It\s a total different species as the tincs
I think you will love them once you got them
Tincs won't work in groups, this ones do.

I must say that the genera of Phyllobates is much more appealing to me then the Dendrobates genera.
They are a little more hardy and fun to watch feeding.
In contrast with the large tincs that only feed on the tiniest bugs the Pyllobates will try to get anything that moves.
Better not to mix them with other species for that,
the others won't even stand a chance on getting food

I mainly feed them crickets that i gutload on forehand,
they love it!
Same with houseflies and things like that,
i like to keep them moving to get their food since they are quickly obesit because of their love for food
Keep an eye on that

A 40 gallon breeder would be fine for a breeder tank for 7 or so P. terribilis. They spend a lot of time out in the open and like to climb around. My terribilis tank is 36" long by 18" wide by 24" high display tank and they use every inch of it. The 40 breeder would be fine but I think a higher tank would make a nicer display.

In case you weren't aware, Petco started their third $1 per gallon sale of the year on Sunday. You simply can't beat $40 for a 40-gal breeder. Maybe you'd want the yellow morph in one and the orange or mint morphs in a second 40-gal.

I'm not a salesman for Petco or anything like that. I just get excited reading about others' excitement.

I've never even seen a terribilis in person, but every time I read about them or see photos, I feel my resolve to stick to the seven species I currently have slowly melting.

Terribilis are great display frogs. I have a 40 breeder sitting in my basement, waiting to be set up for my 5 yellow terribilis (who are almost 12 months old now).
