72 gallon ACF tank rescape! (Was a little bored!)

I don't know if you have stumbled upon these guys yet, but they do carry X. Amieti. However I believe they are in the Czech Republic, but it is worth having a look at. Perhaps they have a contact in North America.
Where did you get your reticulated from?

I get all of my ACF's from Xenopus Express...the owner is very nice, extremely generous, and has always selected frogs with certain pigmentation or coloring, that he knows I'll enjoy having in my colony. Last week, I ordered them Wednesday morning, and they arrived Thursday morning. The 2 little Xenopus Boumbaensis froglets are really cool, and they have a "cross-shaped" pattern near their eyes & forehead. Burley (the owner of Xenopus.com/Xenopus Express) told me that they grow to about the size of the Tropicalis, so maybe these will mature quicker than the leavis?
Today, I set up 2 (two) 20-Gallon High, aquariums, and am going to put the albino male in one, and the pigmented male in the other...after a couple of days, I will put the reticulated albino female in with the pigmented male, and the Pigmented Female in with the albino male. I hope to have a successful breeding within 2 weeks or less. I used to be very successful with getting them to breed. But this is my first endeavor back into the ACF world, in over 3 years ;o)

If you end up with anything nice I would be interested in perhaps obtaining some offspring from you. I have plans to be Chicago in August. I am already planning on haveing some of Jenna's offspring shipped to me if they are ready then. If anyone else up here is interested, I would be willing to bring some up for them too.

Hey there if u have pics or anything of yours, that would be kewl!! And, I know id be interested in buying a pair from you, if u manage to bring some with!!!
The 2 males are alone in their 20G High tanks tonite, so tomorrow or Fri, I will lower the water levels, to about 3-4 inches....then a day or 2 later, I will add several inches of slightly cooler water, to hopefully get the males into thinking the rainy/breeding season has arrived ;o)
Also, One of my ultimate goals is to crossbreed a Borealis with a laevis albino...many years ago, I mated a male Borealis x laevis hybrid, with a laevis Albino Female...but because the male was sterile (as males seem to be with cross-breeding), the eggs were no good. But now, with pure-bred borealis, and a retic female, it would be interesting to see what the offspring would look like, and if any Albinos with borealis traits, would pop up!!!
