Little Frog, Big Bromeliad

A Second Exciting Must Have from Chris Van Der Lingen

The original pumilio morph guide, from the sadly departed Chris Van Der Lingen, boasts beautiful photos and is highly coveted by pumilio people worldwide. This new comprehensive pumilio book, co-authored by Frank Steinmann, should prove to be even more highly sought after. I absolutely cannot wait to pick my copy. Thank you Frank and Chris for giving so much back to this hobby!

Red>Orange

The red Popas seem to be going a bit more orange these days. Still pretty, but a tiny disappointment. I'm hoping they don't fade much more. Their gold/green siblings haven't faded much after hitting the 4 month mark so maybe we'll be lucky.

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 Pair

When it looked like the 2.2 Rambala that I picked up in 2012 were more likely 3.1, I brought in another "female."

After treatment, and an eight month quarantine, she was good to go and went in with the spotted guy.

He's been calling nearly non-stop to her but she seems fairly uninterested. I did notice with the other pair that the females seem to take a while to settle in and respond so hopefully that's all it is and I don't have another male on my hands.

A Fat F1

Love this chubby little Cristo.

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween everyone! The orange frogs were out in force today to celebrate.

First up, a couple of beautiful Salt Creek kids. Love the belly on the second shot.

And next the Cristobals. I promise I didn't pose that first one. They seemed to be holding a conference when I walked by the tank today. These are all F1s from my trio. I've been very pleased with the way the offspring from these frogs have turned out.

A little closer.

Slightly washed out, but still pretty.

Blue Baby

This little Darkland was right out in front today. He seems to be coming along nicely though he may be the only one. Fingers crossed for more success.
