Through the end of the year, I'm going to be showcasing some of the dart frogs that are common and not so common in the hobby. We'll start off with some of the favorites.

Dendrobates Azureus
(Blue Poison Frog)

Size: up to 2 inches
Level: Mostly terrestrial
Care: Beginner
Tank: 10 gallons per frog
Price: Low to mid range. Common, but popular.
Breeding Difficulty: Easy
Behavior: VERY territorial. Females have been known to kill other tank mates by drowning them. Best kept singly or in breeding pairs. Bold in the vivarium.
Notes: A stunningly-colored, blue frog, Azureus is a more common species because of its hardiness in the vivarium and ease of breeding. Often found in zoos and hobby rooms alike, Azureus is very bold and active frog which makes it a popular choice. These frogs, like other members of the tinctorius group, are large and sexually dimorphic in regards to size and shape of the body and size of the toe pads.
*On a personal note, a friend and I found an incredible deal on six tads which begin morphing back in July. They morphed out with good color and incredible appetites! If you are looking for a bold frog that does well in the viv, I would recommend these beautiful frogs!
