My relationship with my Costa Rican blue jeans

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 09:17:23 -0500

These are by far my most elusive frogs if they feel any vibration in the floor they go hiding if they see any shadows move outside the tank they shoot for a leaf. Every morning I hear one call, And the other usually comes out to check it out so I'm hoping I have a pair.

Historic Oophaga lineages?

Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:49:10 -0500

Can anyone show record of successful captive propagation of large Oophaga from the 90s? (Which I do not argue could have happened) I would imagine that this would be something people would be proud of and maybe want to share. Photography and the hobby seem to have always gone hand and hand.

A series of photos?, with increasing mega pixel resolution, with perhaps a mullet or something.

I am only asking a question here. It is based on the fact that I have heard claims of "from the 90s" attached to frogs that were not seen then. Please don't get all pissed off either, I am just trying to tease out information that may increase the contrast in a grey area.

The new Finnex 24/7 automated dawn/dusk lights might be a good option for anyone who wants to experiment with lower light levels through some of the day. The most intense part of the photoperiod is only about 6 hours long, the rest of the time the light is slowly ramping through dawn/dusk or in moonlight mode. The light is geared for aquariums where longer/brighter photoperiods can lead to algae blooms if the plants don't have all they need to out compete the algae (like C02 injection). Not so much of a problem in vivs, but might be less stressful for frogs then what many of us do to light a viv.

The light's size/wattage ratio in most sizes just about equals 1 watt per gallon (or in the ballpark at least) in most standard sized aquariums 20-55gal, and the PAR should be enough for most low to mid light demanding plants in those tanks with 1 light, and probably some high light plants if planted higher up.

Here is a graph showing the Finnex 24/7's progression made by one of the users on plantedtank.net...

And here is a thread about that light and some others...

Forms of the O. Pumilio "Blue Jeans"

Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:53:57 -0600

What I'm talking about are real Blue Jeans. Is there a physical difference with these frogs throughout their entire range from Nicaragua-Costa Rica-Panama? What I am after is the coloration of a bright red body with blue legs. I've seen some Blue Jeans that are a burnt orange coloring with dull blue legs and they weren't Almirante.

I know these are an expensive form of Pumilo and are somewhat hard to come by, but I've pretty much narrowed it down to these or maybe Cayo Nancy/Solarte or Bri Bri or this other form, (?) Viejo.

I'm not ashamed to admit it - I want a bright red Pumilio.

Some questions about O. Pumilio - size

Wed, 26 Nov 2014 19:44:06 -0600

I want to ask a few really simple questions about Pumilio so please bear with me. I have never seen one of any type in person so I have nothing to go by.

1. Are some Pumilio the size of thumbnails? I know there is a range in sizes but I'm not really sure if they are normally considered a smaller frog or a larger one. I have Imitators and Vents so I have something to compare them to.

2. Man Creek, Salt Creek, Vulture Point...I've seen pictures of all three and they look similar. Am I wrong?

3. Do any of the morphs/locales get the size of a D. leucomela.

O. Pumilio "San Cristobal", please give a different type of frog that's close to the same size.

Thanks for any help!

Very nice build. It looks like you are trying for a 'land' version of all those cool planted tanks in the Fish Aquarist Magazines.

Just a few photos...

Pairing Up Pumilio

Sun, 29 Jun 2014 12:19:12 -0500

I lost my male Pumilio from my pair a while back and decided to hold back 4 froglets in hopes of getting another male to pair with my proven female. About a week ago I caught a male calling in the growout tank so I pulled him and put in the tank with the female. He's been calling nonstop ever since. Today I noticed another froglet calling in the growout tank. Should I pull him and put him in the female tank as well to see who pairs with her or leave the pair alone and see if they breed?
