Golfodulcean Poison Frog Phyllobates Vittatus 5cm
Overview: The Golfodulcean Poison Frog, known for its striking appearance and vibrant colors, is a captivating addition to any vivarium. Originating from the lush rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama, these small-sized frogs boast a mix of black and bright yellow stripes along their sleek bodies, making them an eye-catching display species.
Feeding: Their diet primarily consists of small insects like fruit flies, pinhead crickets, and springtails. Providing a varied diet rich in calcium and essential nutrients is crucial for their well-being.
Tank Mates: Given their territorial nature, it’s advisable to keep Golfodulcean Poison Frogs in pairs or small groups within a well-planted vivarium. Peaceful, non-aggressive tank mates such as small dart frogs or certain species of peaceful invertebrates can coexist harmoniously.
Aggression: While generally not aggressive toward their own kind, establishing ample hiding spots and space within the tank helps reduce potential conflicts among multiple frogs.
Experience Level: Intermediate to experienced amphibian keepers are recommended for caring for Golfodulcean Poison Frogs. Familiarity with maintaining proper humidity, temperature, and feeding routines is essential for their thriving.
Water Parameters: Maintaining high humidity levels (around 80-100%) and a moderately warm temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C) is crucial. A substrate that retains moisture and regular misting ensure an optimal environment for these amphibians.
