    72 gallons is plenty of room for a nice colony of ACFs. Let us know when you get them. Pictures, please!

    Thanks, Jen! Your frogs are beautiful. It looks like the X. borealis lives up to its reputation as being quite striking with its purple sheen. I understand that the call of the borealis is very loud. May have to buy some ear plugs

    Great close up of the reticulated albino. I wouldn't mind adding a couple of those to my collection
