Well I bred these guys a bit ago. Like over a month ago. Most are still tadpoles, but like 8 or so are little frogs now. Their pretty cute, lol. The mom is the normal brown color while the male is an albino. She's like 5 years old while the male is over a year, I just got him a few months back. It seems most are albino but maybe they haven't turn dark yet, we shall see. I'm hoping to get some real real good looking ones to sell or breed back to the parents. It's alot of fun and actually pretty easy caring for the tadpoles/frogs. Here's some pics guys.

I'll update and see how the tadpoles turn out.
 
that is so cool man !!!!!!
 
wow that is awesome how hard was it to get them to breed?
 
About as easy to breed as Convicts
1: Put them in a tank (20 long for me) 75% full with room temp water
2: Do a 50% water change, fill with 60-65 degree water
3:Wait, mine laid eggs on the second night.
 
Update: Just counted them today and separated the actual frogs out.
There is:
25 Froglets
10 close to becoming frogs(just need to finish up their tails)
22 tadpoles
Total: 57+/- a few because I got bored counting :)

Their in a 55 now which was going to be a sump so their all divided up because of the plastic barriers already in place. Some seem to be albino but not true albino like the dad which has the red eyes. There are a few close to 1 inchers. Their already getting fat, lol. I'll see if I can get a group shot of them tommorow.
 
I have 25 frogs now and some tadpoles left. The biggest is close to 1 1/2 in. Their starting to get their patterns. I think I'm going to breed them again. Here's a few pics. I wanted to see how many I had so I put them in a lil container.

The biggest, it's a female. It also looks like 95% of them are female which sucks, I need males. Maybe because they were kept in colder water temps they turned out being all females, IDK. I'll try and keep the new tadpoles warmer.
