I received 0.0.15 individuals at the end of 2005. This is a stunning species, with some fascinating breeding behaviour, even by the already unusual breeding biology of the rest of the genus. This species lays food eggs for its young, and generally raises a single tadpole at a time in a small water body. I use film canisters, or multivatamin tubes, and the adults lay eggs with abandon in these containers. My first froglet left the water a week ago - a perfect miniature copy of the adults!
