This is another "Hot Topic" in the Dart Frog hobby, that often needs repeating discussions from time to time...
It is well known amongst importers that a much hyped buzzword used in the dart frog hobby is "blue jeans" and they use it "generously" to market and sell Panamanian Almirante and Man Creek morphs - some of which have greyish blue leg colouring.
Everyone I've talked to, to include Marcus B and Sean S agree that the term "blue jeans" should be limited to populations found in Costa Rica and possibly Nicaragua.
To refer to any Panamanian pumilio as a "blue jeans" morph is just plain wrong, IMO.
Also see the recent attempts to seperate those C.R and Nico populations into a new species.
