Wow. I love the pumillo. If I could ever find any they would be in one of my vivariums. Good shots.

That first frog (orange with black spots) is a type of D. pumilio, right? Those are the ones that always catch my eye.

great pictures stu, so you set on getting azureus? Saw a group of four adults today and was suprised how big they were.

WOWOWOWOW.

You took my breathe away man.

I was wondering... if it's not to much trouble, can I see some pics of the setup?
what size tank? what kind of plants do you have? One looks like some sort of pitcher, i've got a chinese pitcher plant.

Wow man just Wow. I gotta try dart frogs someday.

here is a pic of my D. imitator tank it 24" tall with an 18x18 footprint

as for types of plants i use all kinds..........ferns, orchids, broms, Genlisea, Utricularia, "aquarium" plants like java fern and swords...........no pitcher plants. i know some who have used them but i also know of a carnivorous plant grower who regularly finds dead tree frogs in the pitchers. plus most Neps are actually good sized vines and to big for all but the largest tanks.

azureus shouldnt be kept in groups. the females are quite territorial and will fight quite a bit. quite often resulting in the death of the weaker individuals due to stress......they should be kept in pairs only as adults
