A Super Sad Day

Over the last few weeks I realized I have a voracious egg eater in the Cristobal group; about 25 or so recent eggs and tads. I had thought it was possibly one of the now adult F1s that I have yet to pull, but also had a sneaking suspicion it was Scar. I got my answer this week when I found her sitting atop 3 different devastated gel masses at different times. This time she wasn't letting any eggs get to maturity so I had to pull her. Of course it would have to be my favorite girl. Hoping for a male from the remaining pair now so I can set her up on her own. I am SO running out of room.

Rambala Transport

Caught a couple photos of the female transporting their first clutch.

First Rambala Clutch

After eight months I found the first Rambala clutch. I was starting to wonder if I had ended up with any females in this group. I trimmed back the viv significantly the other day so I imagine that prompted the mating. Very glad to know I don't have five males!

A couple hours later I walked in to the male watering this clutch. I rarely see this guy and was excited for the opportunity to take a couple pictures.

Just Hanging Out - Pumilio Bastimentos FS

Found this little Basti tad hanging the other day. Fortunately it was right over a brom with a nice pool of water for it drop into.

Dropping the Twins Off at the Pool

Ok, it's a little blurry, but also slightly artistic.

Transport Shot - Pumilio San Cristobal

I rarely seem to come across my frogs in transport and photographs of the event have all but completely eluded me. Granted this is not a photographic masterpiece, I was incredibly excited to get it!

I really must pick up a better camera and learn a few skills.

Pumilio BSC

The BSC froglets are coming along nicely. I think this little chub is my favorite. Wish the camera would focus on him better though.

Caught mom transporting the other day (sortof).

And she has another clutch of 10 developing on a leaf.

Still can't get over the brilliant orange on these guys!

From Day 1 to Transport - Pumilio BSC

I was so hoping to get an actual transport shot, but every time I checked on the tank there was another tadpole gone and no mom in sight.

Dad was consistently perched right above surveying the day's events.
