Proyects

Im currently breeding and eventually have available to buy the following species:

Line: 2021 EU import.
Dendrobates tinctorius "Oyapock” hail from French Guiana in the Oyapoque river region. These are a type of dwarf tinctorius. These frogs can only be housed in groups as juveniles to sub adults, and even then it becomes risky as they near adulthood. Most of the issues arise from female to female aggression. All tinctorius are very territorial, and defend large areas in the wild. Females are aggressive, and fight for dominance over access to males. There has been plenty of empirical evidence of male on female aggression as well, with the female as the aggressor. A trio is the maximum size for a 55-75 gallon tank, but this is usually not advised. Please do not place more than two in one enclosure at adulthood, unless it is a 2.1.0 (two males and one female). As a pair, the female will usually lay 4 to 10 eggs on glossy leaves, but they can have larger clutches. Thick leaves (such as Philodendron, Costus, etc), thick leaf litter (such as magnolia), or a petri dish underneath a coconut hut works well for breeding.

Dendrobates auratus "Capurgana"

Line: Tesoros Frogs.
Phyllobates terribilis "Orange Blackfoot" is found in the foothills of the Andes in Colombia, with a potentially extensive natural range exceeding 200 square miles. This locality originates from the Tesoros de Colombia region and is distinguished by its vibrant orange coloration with contrasting black feet.

As adults, these frogs are exceptionally bold and active. They can be maintained successfully in groups when provided with an appropriately sized enclosure. As a general guideline, no more than two frogs should be housed in a 10-gallon enclosure, three in a 20-gallon enclosure, and four to five in a 40-gallon enclosure. While occasional dominance displays and brief wrestling matches may occur, aggression is typically minor and rarely results in injury when adequate space, cover, and food are provided.

Females typically lay clutches of 5 to 15 eggs beneath leaf litter, under a coconut hut, or on broad, flat leaves or a Petri dish placed beneath a shelter. If left undisturbed, the adults will transport the tadpoles to suitable bodies of water. Alternatively, the eggs may be removed and reared separately if preferred.

Dendrobates tinctorius "azureus"

Line: Tesoros Frogs.
Originates from Colombia and is prized for its striking coloration. These frogs display a vibrant lime green base with bold black reticulated patterning, making them one of the most attractive D. auratus locales.

This locale is moderately shy but adapts well to captivity. Like other D. auratus, they become increasingly confident with age and regular, non-disruptive interaction. They are generally well-suited for group housing, as adults can often be maintained together successfully when provided with ample space, abundant hiding places, and consistent food availability.

Some territorial behavior is normal, particularly among females, which may engage in brief wrestling or dominance displays. Males, however, are typically much less aggressive and rarely participate in physical disputes.

Females generally lay clutches of 4 to 10 eggs beneath leaf litter, under a coconut hut, or on broad, flat leaves or a Petri dish placed beneath a shelter. Once the eggs hatch, the adults will transport the tadpoles to small bodies of water, similar to the behavior observed in Dendrobates tinctorius. Alternatively, the eggs can be removed and raised separately. If multiple tadpoles are left together in the same rearing container, cannibalism is likely to occur.

Phyllobates terribilis " Orange Blackfoot"

Ranitomeya vanzolinii.

Line: A shore thing exotic.
Ranitomeya vanzolinii inhabits the Amazonian forests of Peru and Brazil. They do well in groups and have limited aggression toward one another. They are less territorial than some other Ranitomeya, such as fantastica. R. vanzolinii usually lay 1-6 eggs on the glass or on vegetation. Tadpoles can be pulled or left to be raised by adults, but may cannibalize if left with other tadpoles in proximity with less-than-adequate food. R. vanzolinii exhibit pair bonding and high biparental care, therefore it is definitely okay to have the frogs take care of their own young. Minor egg eating may occur from rival females. No more than a trio should go in a 10 gallon vertical conversion tank or a 12 x 12 x 18 ExoTerra tank, but we recommend larger enclosures. Please contact us with further questions.

Dendrobates tinctorius "oyapok"

Line Josh's Frog's.
It is native to the forests surrounding the Sipaliwini Savanna in southern Suriname and neighboring Brazil.

These frogs can be housed in small groups only during their juvenile and subadult stages. As they approach maturity, group housing becomes increasingly risky due to their highly territorial nature. The most common source of conflict is aggression between females, as they compete for dominance and access to males. While female-to-female aggression is the primary concern, there are also documented cases of females exhibiting aggression toward males.

All D. tinctorius are territorial and defend relatively large areas in the wild. For this reason, adult housing should be approached with caution. Although a trio can sometimes be maintained in a 55–75 gallon enclosure, this arrangement is generally not recommended. In most cases, no more than two adults should be housed together unless the group consists of two males and one female (2.1.0).

When maintained as a compatible pair, females typically lay between 4 and 10 eggs on smooth, broad leaves, although larger clutches are not uncommon. Ideal egg-laying sites include sturdy leaves from plants such as Philodendron or Costus, deep leaf litter like magnolia leaves, or a Petri dish placed beneath a coconut hut.
