    Especially for Newbs, do not mix species, especially treefrogs or anything tropical.

    I wont go so far as to say that one should NEVER mix species. There are conditions under which it can be done, but it is one of those things where only people with a LOT of husbandry experience should ever even contemplate attempting it.

    You know those people who set up really big replicas of natural ecosystems for fish that are all found in the same flooded south american forest? The people who have been keeping three hundred gallon tanks for fifteen years? You have to be like that, but with frogs.

    Going off that, couldn't you mix an Albino Agalychnis callidryas with a normal Agalychnis callidryas? Then you'd have 2 different colors of the same frog.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    That would depend. I am always a bit wary of captive bred morphs because of the inbreeding that goes into generating the lines.

    I wasn't sure about that, good to know. I'm in love with the Albino Agalychnis callidryas and thought that might be a cool way to mix some color in.

    Treat the tap water with a chlorine remover before you spray them.
