Species Guide
Descriptions and care information for dart frogs and other species.
A. galactonotus morphs
Adelphobates galactonotus, the splash-back poison frog, is found in the Brazilian Amazon. Known for their bold, contrasting color morphs ranging from bright orange to red and yellow, these hardy frogs make excellent vivarium inhabitants and are popular among hobbyists for their outgoing personalities and ease of care.
D. auratus morphs
Dendrobates auratus, the green-and-black poison frog, is one of the most widespread dart frogs in Central and South America. This species displays remarkable color variation across its range, with morphs featuring combinations of green, blue, bronze, and black. They are a great beginner species due to their hardiness and bold behavior.
D. tinctorius morphs
Dendrobates tinctorius, the dyeing poison frog, hails from the Guiana Shield region of South America. It is one of the largest dart frog species and boasts an extraordinary diversity of color morphs and patterns. Each locale produces distinct combinations of blue, yellow, white, and black, making them highly sought after by collectors and breeders.
O. pumilio morphs
Oophaga pumilio, the strawberry poison frog, is native to Central America and is famous for its extreme color polymorphism. Found from Nicaragua to Panama, populations range from bright red to blue, green, orange, and even white. They are obligate egg feeders, with females transporting tadpoles to water-filled bromeliads and returning to feed them unfertilized eggs.

Other Frogs
Non-dart frog species that we keep and breed. These include tree frogs, leaf frogs, and other amphibians that thrive in tropical vivarium setups similar to those used for dart frogs.
Phyllobates species
Phyllobates is a genus of poison frogs from Central and South America that includes the most toxic vertebrates on Earth. Despite their potency in the wild, captive-bred Phyllobates are non-toxic and are prized for their bright warning colors, bold temperament, and loud calls. They are generally hardy and make rewarding captives.
Thumbnail Frogs
Thumbnail frogs are miniature dart frogs from genera such as Ranitomeya and Oophaga, typically reaching only 15-20mm in size. Despite their tiny stature, they display vivid colors and fascinating behaviors including biparental care and complex courtship. Their small size makes them ideal for nano and desktop vivarium setups.
