no they are not dart frogs even though they look similar, they are not in the Dendrobates genus but rather Mantellidae. still awesome though.
Do your re-reserch and see if somewhere down the line you can pull some babys out of your frogs. Mantellas are like most Madagascar wild life endangered and at the moment considering all factors like global warming and cytric fungus not a very brigth future in the wild. We need more people keeping and breeding this frogs. Considering that there are fewer people with Mantella then with Dendrobatidae, your frogs are actually more important
Make sure you keep them cool. Unlike dart frogs they do not tolerate heat well.
Breeding them ( in my experience) has been pretty simple. A simple tank. I have a 10 gal with spag moss, one potho,s water bowl and 2 pieces of smal driftwood. A small cycle of a few weeks of a little bit of a dry period and only feeding every few days followed by 2-3x a day misting and havily feeding has resulted in calling, courting and eggs numerous times.
