Keeping multiple dart frog species in a large vivarium

[Ra]

I've seen it done in zoos, and that famous Discus Breeder, Jack Wattley would house them together in very large display tanks, just not for breeding them ( though he breeds them as well.)

Ra, I've a nice photo of a hybrid of two tinc morphs, photographed in a famous zoo. Just because zoos do it, it doesn't make it right. As for keeping different things together, I think most dart frog enthusiasts wouldn't have a problem with mixing different races of tincs as froglets or juveniles but as maturity approaches they would of course be separated. The same would apply to young auratus and leucomelas.

When you have a degree in Herpetology, have logged 10 years as a curator of animals at a zoological institution and or have about 100 years experience like Jack....then by all means, have at it.

If you are a newbie and have joined a forum a few months ago and don't even have 2 different species worth of experience under your belt....

If you have to ask about mixing....that says it all right there.

Please don't manufacture excuses with bad analogies......

I'm not trying to be rude I'm just saying that it feels a tad bit ignorant to completely ignore all other possibilities. Like I said before I don't think they should INTENTIONALLY breed mix species, but there is a whole nother world that remains undiscovered when you refuse to even consider it. How many breeds of dog do you think there would be if they never cross bred, really any animal. Cats, fish, birds, lemurs and so on. I'll admit that I am no where near an expert in amphibian care, I understand the importance of keeping a pure bloodline especially in a dying species. I must say though, if Charles Darwin taught us anything it's that life has to evolve it'self to survive.

Long live Darwin! In the words of ian malcolm (jurrasic park) "life will find a way" sorry couldn't help it
