Sorry Phil, one response then im out.
Have had castis now for almost five years, and have bred them last three years. Great frogs, would love to pickup Quins but lack the room.

Obligates are nice, Rich, and I keep a few, but what I most enjoy about my little brown frogs (Ameerega, epipedobates, allobates, and even Mantella sp.) are their social behaviors, vocalizations, etc. I also find claims that certain species are somehow more shy than others to be specious. If given the proper enclosure even the notoriously "shy" species will be frequently visible, and nearly always audible.
Terribilis are vocal, so are all thumbs, obligates , and you stare them, and they you , in the sac when they are horning out.
It's sounds nice to say a "little brown frog" is being kept, if you've had a LBF for over a decade , then it's more than a cool thing to say you've 'kept' .
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.

...contact TK for both quinqs and castis, I'd guess.
