  • My bumblebee dart frogs (Dendrobates leucomelasj have produced tadpoles! In this video I discuss the breeding triggers for bumblebee dart frogs, describe their interesting development, and describe how I am raising the tadpoles. Bumblebee dart frogs provide some parental care to their tadpoles, which you will see in this video.

    Congratulations on the tadpoles. That's interesting how the male transports the tadpoles on his back to another body of water.

      Elaine Smith Thank you Elaine! I agree...frog reproduction is so variable and fascinating!

    Interesting. I learn something from you again. I like frogs and toads. I find them really useful in controlling mosquito and cockroach population since I'm living in the tropics. Every rainy season, my outdoor ponds is full of them. We had really hot weather during the last two years and I only find very few tadpoles, unlike the past years. This year, however, the weather is a bit better and I find them breeding so much again. The tadpoles eat one of the fish food and they see me as the food person. After they grow up they rarely are afraid of me. Some even allow me pick them up. I always feel happy when I find new frogs that I haven't seen before.

    • @Aquarimax
      @Aquarimax  4 роки тому

      James King in a sense, yes, compared to frogs that produce thousands at once. This frog is less
      Likely to be eaten because of its toxicity, so it can afford to have a smaller number of offspring. 👍

      Plant-Based Experiment some people do, but generally it is not recommended, except perhaps in. Wet large enclosures.

    • @Aquarimax
      @Aquarimax  5 років тому +1

      Plant-Based Experiment that is possible, but also frowned upon in case of hybridization. They probably have different species together. It can be done. It makes breeding more difficult, and there can be aggression issues...I am sure the zoo is taking that into scoutmasters and managing accordingly. 😊👍

      Do you have any recommendations? Here are my preferences;
      Fine in groups
      Easy to breed
      More ground-oriented
      Better if more bold. But I’m ok with shy ones.
      Relatively inexpensive.
