1, what are the best dart frogs to get, the ones that really appeal to me are the D.Azerous (Blue and Black), D.Lecumelas(Yellow and black), D.Pumilio (Strawberry).

I've read up on them all but the D.A and D.L seem to be the easist to keep, but what are your opinions?

Out of the 3 species, azureus and leucomelas are the hardiest and easiest to keep for beginners. They also tend to be more active than pumilio which often stay in the axils of the bromeliads in the viv.

2, Are they better singular or a pair? Do males get territorial with other males?

They are best kept in pairs or trios. In leucomelas and azureus the females are agressive to each other and in pumilio it is the males.

3, How much did everything cost to set up if you don't mind me asking =P.

I use Exoterras for all my frogs but the set up will cost as much as you want. Depends on which background, plants, substrate and lighting you use. I have set vivs up for around £40 and also for around the £500 mark. The only limit is your wallet and your imagination.

I work in a petshop so access to everything needed. These frogs are something i'd love to get into i'm obsessed about there colours lol.

4, Does anyone know where i could buy from locally (Manchester) If anyone has any contacts with breeders to give me a message please.

You have a PM

Thanks.
