The P. vittatus, like the P. terribilis, are nice bold frogs that get along well in groups. In my experience, they are just a bit more shy than the terribilis, which are extraordinarily bold. They have a somewhat loud, but nice, rather more musical call than most other darts, who are either hard to hear or sound like a mad squirrel. I've never successfully found and raised eggs from my group of four, but they are enjoyable groupie type frogs that don't seem to be very territorial. I have the 4 in a 55 gallon corner bow tank. They are well worth keeping in my estimation. I don't concern myself much with breeding, so have never worried much about why I'm not finding eggs, but the group has been with me for five years now and have remained conspicuous and enjoyable to watch.
