Hi all, who else keeps dart frogs too? ive had a pair of blue azureus sense the jan show, was really excited to get a nice pair id been wanting them for along time. so they got all settled in an they started layen eggs bein new i think i was leavin the eggs in the viv to long an nothing seemed to happen with the eggs.. Well this time i think i may have it rite, is there anyone here that has bred darts that can look at these eggs an tell me how they look?

I've always wanted dart frogs. I absolutely love them and their coloring. Do you have a pic of the parents and their setup? Sorry I can't help you about the eggs but it looks like there's something developing in there. Good luck with them.
 
I have darts and mantella :)

I thought the eggs are supposed to be kept in the dark and within the tank for a long while, so the male can fert and until the tads swim? That's how I've done it -left them in the Vivarium until tads. and at that point I always give them to others (no time to raise tads myself). If they go grey they are bad. If they stay black they are good. I think

Are you on Dendroboard? There's a great egg care article with photos on there. If those eggs are two weeks old now I think they're duds. There would be little tads getting close to hatching by now. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes them a few tries to learn how to get it right but that's a good start and they'll probably give you some good eggs soon.

When I bred auratus I removed the eggs after 2 days and left the petri dish in an area with a little ambient daytime light until hatching and then transferred the tads to individual plastic cups.
