Not got any myself but would really like some. There's a few good websites dedicated to dart frogs that are based in the UK.

They get their name from their front arms(?) that they use to either club prey to pieces or to skewer them. Clubbers feed on crabs etc while spearers feed on things like smal fish. It's the clubber species that can break glass. They literally punch their way through. Their eyes are really...

Plenty of people keep them and they are dead easy to get hold of, just have to order one from a marine retailer. You won't see one in a shop very often because of the issues I detailed above ;)

:P :P Love the last one, I've never heard of them being eaten before but makes sense given their size :P :P

I've not kept one intentionally but have had one turn up in my tank :D There are actually 2 types - clubbers and spearers and loads of species of each, most being quite small and relatively harmless. Mine was a spearer and took mysid shrimp from the water column by skewering them on its arms...

I see nothing wrong with buying from E-bay. Most people who sell on there want positive feedback so they can continue selling easily. It's the same as buying from any web based shop. Sometimes the cost of a species gets pushed up qiute high but this only tends to happen with the more...

I keep them in a home made tank which is inside a modified aquarium with a heat mat beneath. Daytime temp reaches 84F in the outer tank and a bit higher in the inner one. Both tanks are well ventilated. I lost one L2 the day after they arrived and one L1 moulted badly to L2 but has since...

I love this species. Are they endangered in the wild? I wonder if I'd be able to source them in malaysia next time I go. Then there's just the issue of getting them home legally :P

The only silly question is the one that doesn't get asked ;) As above for the answer though :rolleyes:

Nice modern art look to the edit. Not my cup of tea though, especially when you compare it to the original ;)

Hello :D What fish do you keep?

Yeah, she's eating really well. I tend to put a load of flies in at a time so they can eat as they want to. With this female I put 5-6 BBs in every day. Sometimes one or two will be left from the day before so I don't feed her until the next day and she refuses food before laying.

Should get at least 12 nymphs then :D

Here you go, not the best photos but you can tell whats happening at least :rolleyes:

Time between laying is definately an issue I'd guess. She's laying every few days. She gets fed on Bluebottle flies that have been fed honey plus the odd bit of banana and gets through quite a few; up to about 5 on a good day.
