If you want a small frog, i suggest a species that is naturally small because young frogs seem to die more easily and are more prone to disease, they're not as hardy as adults.

Good luck!

the larger species of dartfrog are usually more bold than the real thumbnail species, so from a photographic POV would be much better subjects.
