Ok. Let me know if you want it. I am in SW Portland off Beaverton Hillsdale near alpenrose dairy. I put that in the post also.

Titanium heaters and feeders pending

ALL FROGS SOLD AND PICKED UP! THANKS

I have some things I would like to sell since I have no tanks and now no frogs :( Located in SW Portland off Beaverton Hillsdale HWY near Alpenrose Dairy. 1) Hydor 300 watt inline heater (far left in pic) $20

still looking?

all frogs pending but still willing to take backups in case something falls through. Thanks!

Sale pending on Oyapocks

Thank you PowderBlue

Haha you would have some fat and happy frogs! In the wild, the food they eat (beetles/ants) contains the toxin or ingredients to make the toxin (batrachotoxin) that the frogs then make and secrete. It bioaccumulates as it moves up the food chain. Funny, there is no antidote to the toxin, but tetrodotoxin (puffer fish) has the complete opposite effect that dart frogs do. So, in theory, you could save yourself from dart frog poison by eating fugu puffer, haha (although I couldn't imagine knowing the proper doses)

yeah, a bunch. I have sold a few, given a few away to teachers that have tanks at school. They lay their eggs on the bank of the water area, the tads hatch and move down to the water area, and I scoop them out and raise them.

Thank you! They are very cool. A nice compliment to a reef tank. So much easier to care for than a reef though. People are fascinated with them when they see them, and they are super outgoing in their tanks. I will miss them

I am moving and I cannot take my frogs with me to my new place :( If you have ever thought about keeping darts, this is your chance to start for cheap. They are extremely easy to care for, and are NOT poisonous in captivity. All you have to do is make a fly culture every 2 weeks or so, mist every few days, and trim plants every month or 2! I have 3 setups to sell, and have priced them very cheap to hopefully find them homes quickly. 1) A 24W x 18D x 24T Exoterra with light housing a single male azureus. I am looking for $120 for the full setup and frog. This also has a decent 2x4/plywood stand painted black that comes with it. Fully planted with false bottom. 2) A 18W x 18D x 24T Exoterra with light housing a proven pair of Tinctorius Oyapock. I am looking for $140 for the setup and pair. No stand with this setup. Fully planted with false bottom. 3) A 54 gallon acrylic corner tank with 4 unknown sex leucomelas. I have heard calling frequently. This tank has a stand and hood, a little rough but they work, painted black and light. Also comes with a mistking setup (automated mister) with 3 nozzles already plumbed in. Im asking $160 for the setup. Fully planted with false bottom. These are all for local pickup in Portland OR. Not willing to ship. I may be able to deliver if you are fairly close to PDX. I also don't want to break things up since I need to get rid of the setups also before the move, and think I have priced things in a way that if you want frogs you could easily make money selling the setup yourself. Unfortunately I just don't have the time. These frogs have all been with me for a few years. I am not sure of their origins as I have purchased them from breeder friends and wasn't interested in that so much. Purchasers will also receive a fruit fly (melanogaster) culture, some fruit fly media to make more, and a box full of excelsior to keep them going. Let me know if you have any questions.

+1 to ice cube method. Works well!

Wish I had my tax return money now! I would be all over this. I'm sure it won't last that long. If for some freak chance it does I'll let you know

Yeah some of those look familiar! Glad they are still doing well. I knew they would do well in your coral bank. Hopefully someday soon I can make a withdrawal haha!

Why do they need pulled? Stomatitis?

Can you do a 20 gallon high? 10 gallons are very thin glass. Working in them can be hazardous when it comes to adding and removing equipment. They crack easily. Also something to consider is that small of a pump area is where you will see all your evaporation take effect. It will only take a few cups of water to go from normal level to your pump sucking air. Plan on an auto tipoff? Just things to consider

Very solid advice. I've actually seen someone drill a perfect hole and the glass piece they cut out fell out of the bit through the hole and broke the opposite side panel

I've done it a few times. Lowered the tank level by 50-75% drill as usual. Be prepared incase it does crack.

There arelocal reptile shows in the area a few times a year. There are usually a few reputable breeders there. They have some nice stuff.

Very well said

Get a blue phase! They are beauts! Grab that mistking! They are awesome. I have one for my dart frogs. I have worked with multiple. Not the best for handling but awesome to look at. Keep their enclosures stable. Keep temps and humidity in the ideal zones. They can be prone to respiratory issues.

What kind of glass? I work at Culver glass right now while I'm in paramedic school. We have a shop in Portland salem and eugene. We can get most anything.
