The Solid Blue form of Adelphobates galactonotus is a rare and unusual dart frog, relatively new to the hobby in the US. Be aware that they are a completely different frog from the Blue Splashback form. These frogs have a lot going for them — they are quite beautiful, significantly bolder than other galactonotus, and unusual in appearance.

Solid Blue galactonotus are a bit different than other forms of galactonotus, in that they are unusually bold and do not seem to squabble much, unlike regular galactonotus which usually do a good bit of wrestling early in their cohabitation. They also seem to have a slightly different body shape — as they mature they are reminiscent of tinctorius, with a deeper body type and a more pronounced arch in the back of the females in particular.

Like all galactonotus, these frogs come from the Amazon basin in Brazil. At some point an illegal shipment of poached animals was confiscated entering Europe, and the frogs were placed with a zoo. Eventually offspring were released to hobbyists in Europe, and then offspring of those frogs were legally exported to the US with CITES documents. By keeping and breeding these frogs, hobbyists help remove pressure to poach more frogs from their native habitat.

Galactonotus breed fairly easily in group settings, with males transporting tadpoles to water. They may take up to two years to reach sexual maturity, so patience is key. The Solid Blue form is quite rare in the US hobby.
