Tracy Hicks posted the following on another forum that I think is worth quoting: "The real take away point to Brent's note, for me, was how much more interesting a one species tank can be to watch than a multiple species tank. Single species tanks foster the breeding dynamics of the group which is often inhibited in multiple species tanks. Watching the calling and breeding activities are wonderful but watching the tad carrying, parental care, egg feeding, froglets and young frogs all interacting is just much more interesting to me than two sets of colors of frog species often hiding from each other."

To continue--and here is some information that I certainly didn't know before this: "Auratus are very underrated frogs. I have several groups of auratus that exhibit a wide range of parental care including one group that are egg feeding. Before six months ago I didn't know auratus would egg feed."

You may note that he refers to only two sets of frog colors. Ten isn't even in the vocabulary of experienced keepers.
