I purchased a "likely" m/f pair of Benedicta from UE two shipments ago. They had been in a 10g vert, with the very occasional sighting. Very shy frogs, but they are in a low traffic area. Upon looking closely at tank three days ago, I spotted cluster of tads close to hatching.
I planned on removing the tads later that evening.
Went back down a couple hours later, and saw one of my Bene's sitting in that same spot...with four tads on his/her back. The Bene promptly hopped away. I was able to scoop up the last tad for growout. Pretty excited about this development.
I have chosen not to dissect tank looking for tads, as I do not want to disrupt the pair's mojo.
