That's correct. None of the people buying were given pictures of the parents nor choices of phenotypes, nor sexed frogs. Nobody knew exactly how they were bred in the pens.
I have suggested more than once that we'll need to wait until offspring are produced. Possibly quite a few.
But, if people do not look at some of these frogs and think dull/muddy , I'd really like to see an example of what people think really is dull and muddy.

I'll resume reading this when I start seeing pics of adults and offspring at a couple months of age. Until then it's nothing but speculation about them looking dull and muddied because of any kind of crossing. From seeing pics of the morph on the german website they look like they could be representative of that population.

All of the Paru I have seen in person (7) have a varying degree of black to them. The two you've pictured just seem to have a much higher amount. How about giving us some information on the frogs you've pictured. Did these come in though understory's last shipment or are they offspring from the first?Chris, could you please explain what a muddy frog would look like then? Or better yet, a dull and intermediate frog?
I am keeping my group of three very different frogs together as that is how I received them from Mark and until the people who put all the work into bringing these animals in say differently, that's how they will stay.
They transported yesterday and I have a second developing clutch so I hope to be able to contribute a little more to the discussion once they start coming out if water. For reference here are the three I've got. The one that reminds me of your frogs is the light yellow female. The "lita" looking frog is also a female and the orange frog is male.
Chris
Your three pictured all have similar lita netting and netting undertones . That's a good thing in my book. I'd gladly trade for the light colored female you have for either of the two in question if they turn out to be females. They do indeed have much higher amounts of brown , not so much black.
These came in in the last shipment. Offspring of the penned frogs.
Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.
