The Dendrobates tinctorius “Oyapok” is a smaller and more delicate form of tinctorius, admired for its unique and striking coloration. Featuring bone-white patterns that are rare among dart frogs, complemented by “blue jeans” blue legs and light “bracelets” on their front ankles, these frogs are a stunning addition to any collection.

A Rare and Beautiful Morph
Despite their smaller size, the Oyapok tinctorius embodies all the classic traits of tinctorius, making them a standout choice for enthusiasts. This morph is relatively rare and could benefit from more active breeding within the hobby. Recent imports from Europe have introduced new bloodlines, offering a fantastic opportunity to help establish this beautiful species further.

Care Recommendations
While smaller than most tinctorius morphs, these frogs thrive best when raised individually or closely monitored in pairs. Juveniles are 5–6 months old and well-started, though they grow at a moderate pace. Expect them to mature within a year under proper care.
