Haha, I get it, but they're selling really fast at $400, so...
I know quite a few people that are breeding these now, some have 3, 4, or 5 groups. It's just a matter of time until there's more and the price will fall. Just like many others, azureus, Benedicta, orange lamasi, to name a few...

Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.
If tone is more important to you than content, you are at the wrong place.

Well, having had many, many groups of these (and never offering them for more than $250 a froglet) I can tell you that they are the very toughest thumb to breed consistently AND responsibly.
The fact that there is quite possibly only one true line here mixed with the general difficulties make for an expensive frog.
Anybody advertising these for $400 or more is gouging though. I went along with Pepper's crazy Benedicta (fant) price due to the fact money needed to be fed to that project. But $400-$500 is more than simple supply and demand , it's near rape.
They are awesome frogs and I hope to have a greater number of breeders next year. But it takes a lot of time a patience .
Yes, I agree, $400 seems ridiculous for a thumbnail...and it will seem more ridiculous in a year or two when there's a lot more of these guys around...
Honestly Craig , I follow the general breeding of these and the supposed "new imports" and who is doing what...' Look , my lamasi have ten tads in the water!!!...and what seems like a lot of breeding right now turns into ' sucks, just lost my male' or, ' how do I cycle my lamasi back up, they used to breed like crazy!?'...
Lots more and lots cheaper next year? Not seeing it happen on any noticeable or lasting time period. Wish it were not the case. Best thumb ever.

Rich, you may be right, we will have to wait and see. But for the first time in years, maybe ever, these guys have been popping up somewhat regularly at meets, shows, and classifieds. I know of several capable breeders with multiple groups that are producing tads and froglets and I'm sure there's at least that many I don't know about. Based on what you and others have said, I hope to get some one day...
