E. Anthonyi "Santa Isabel"

[bshmerlie]

Yeah I saw how you did that ...very cool. I don't mess with the eggs at this point. I just let him take care of them. Once he has them all transported to the water bowl then I clean out the cup. He seems to rotate between two favorite cups. Im looking at getting a nice camera that can take some good close up shots. At that point I'm going to pull the eggs and take a daily developmental shot as the eggs become tads.

This is so awesome!

I can't wait to see picture of the developing tads and eventually froglets, so exciting!

Here is Tony JR. on his first day with all four legs. I was hesitant to do it but I moved him to a grown out tank with shallow water and slope and plants to help him crawl out of the water. I wasn't expecting legs so soon. He was born on the 4th of July. Isn't supposed to take longer than this?

Well Cheri, between you and a friend, I decided to get some Epipedobates anthonyi "Rio Saladillo". That's the race with the blue stripes. Here's a photo from dendrobase.de:

I hope they don't mind me posting that photo but I've got none of my own yet.

I've actually looked at getting some of those too. I really think the E. anthonyi are underrated frogs. They are really great frogs with a great call and lots of personality. I actually think they might be the best dart frog out there for anyone who wants to learn about and refine their tadpole care skills. They are bold and active at all times. I love them.

Here's are some photos of Tony Jr. two days out of the water. Sorry not the greatest photos I know, but I don't quite have your camera skills and all the "display" leaves ready to go. Little Tony kept moving. I don't know if you can tell but he is already showing his racing stripes.

Yay!! So Cool! I can definitely see some stripes going in the second picture!

Haha, does it seem that false? These photos were taken in terrarium:









Same for this Santa Isabel:
