Re: Differences in Indonesian and Australian WTF?
According to Sandfire they work with Indos, Aussies and hybrids between the two. From what I've gleaned Aussies are plumper, more typical "Dumpy" and come in the Aussie blue-green; the Indos are not as cubby (a bit more svelt) and they come in brighter greens without the bluish tinge. Far as I know my Shirley is an Aussie while Honey-Lime might be an Indo/Aussie hybrid. Snowflakes are Aussies, I'm not sure about the Honeys and Phantoms but the pics of the adults on their site sure appear Aussie... so pudgy!

Re: Differences in Indonesian and Australian WTF?
The honeys are indos. Don't know about the phantom. All assies in captivity have been crossed with an indo at some point.
Re: Differences in Indonesian and Australian WTF?
I find it funny how defensive the lady at Petco got when I asked if their WTFs were Aussies or Indos and she sort of bugged out her eyes and said with a huffy tone, "ALL our frogs are Australian. They were sold to us as Aussies so we sell them as Aussies. That's all I know." Um, okaaaaaay.... lol.
I would actually think that the hybridizing, if the right breeding practices are being used, would produce hybrid vigor and make for healthier stronger frogs? Works that way with mammals anyway.

Re: Differences in Indonesian and Australian WTF?
I don't know if there is any scientific evidence that supports the claim that hybridization makes stronger and healthier animals in both herps and mammals. I have heard of animals not being able to make it out o the eggs, not being able to reproduce, or even having birth defects. Keep in mind that mind that both indos and Aussies are the same exact species so it's not technically hybridization but a cross in locality. Equivalent to people of different race breeding.
Re: Differences in Indonesian and Australian WTF?
True... I do know that when two different breeds of goats are crossed together (i.e. Nigerian Dwarf x Angora) that, even though they are the same species, they call them hybrids. "Hybrid vigor" does seem to be true of goats at any rate so was going from that, lol. Location aside it does raise an interesting point that the Aussies and the Indos seem to have a different look about them, however.

Re: Differences in Indonesian and Australian WTF?
Hmmm... I just read this thread http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...ndonesian.html and it's saying the opposite of what I'd come to believe in the differences in that the Indo is actually "dumpier" than the Aussie, even though Aussies are known as Dumpy blue tree frogs?? Ok, now I am really confused... lol. Oh well, will just go with what I was told that Aussies are bluish-green and Indos are brighter green (unless Honeys) and that both can turn brown... if the Indos and Aussies are crossed anyway then who knows what body type will show up, lolAccording to Sandfire they work with Indos, Aussies and hybrids between the two. From what I've gleaned Aussies are plumper, more typical "Dumpy" and come in the Aussie blue-green; the Indos are not as cubby (a bit more svelt) and they come in brighter greens without the bluish tinge.
