My other addiction

[PYRU]

I didn't get pics before I turned them loose but I got a nice deal on 3 quality giant orange froglets. I really like these beauties. Hopefully I can find some fresh blood for a breeding pair.

Pic is oldlady's from aboard but gives you an idea. These have really bright blue legs

Those are beautiful! Wow!

I think so as well. This is probably my favorite morph and they're one of the biggest darts you can get.

Theres some controversy with these. In the 90s they were brought to EU as regina well this guy from a marketing standpoint decided the name giant orange would sell better. They did for big money back then. In early 2k another morph popped up with the name regina that looked different. Some of the big boys in the dart world had disagreements on what was what and even labeled them opposite from other breeders sellers. When in actuality they were all variations of the same population and there was line breeding going on.

Original G.O. & Regina then how one importer flip flopped the description

Interesting, are they easy to breed? And what's their behavior like? Bold or shy?

Extremely easy. As long as you supplement properly. Darts don't absorb vit A from beta carotene well so you have to get something like repashy calc plus (retinol). I feed tads NLS micro pellets so they morph out super sturdy eating flies.

Tincs are extremely bold and will climb over everything if you give them sturdy structures. If I stick my hand in they'll jump on it. Diurnal as well.

There's a lot of dogma out there about them. 100% humidity, sealed tanks, etc. Theyre easier than a pacman

Thumbs like imitators are really interesting. Theyre egg feeders. The male will lead the female to a good egg laying site. Once you have tads the male will go check on them and start calling the female to come feed them.

Halfway done with leuc tank. I still have some broms, mini orchids, & moss to add

 

[PYRU]

Added some broms. Excuse the zip ties while they attach themselves to the wood. I need to get some more light for the back. All that's left is adding some micro orchids and moss planting wise. I still need to drill my top for vents/misc connections and then add a fan.

Some years ago I wanted to get into this so I bought a book on the care and keeping of arrow frogs but it's much better to be able to communicate with someone who has first hand experience,great thread.

Thanks for the compliment. I was hoping people would be receptive. Dart keepers are a lot like MFKers. Someone is always pushing the envelope and majority forward thinkers. There's also a lot of dogma out there on their care, but in reality they're easier than a pacman.

I have some other builds coming up like a 29g horizontal for the giant orange and a 29g vert conversion for a group of southern variabilis (pic)

Looking forward to seeing the threads and photos on those builds.
