I'm guessing that this is a Dendrobates leucomelas and a D. tinctorius of some kind, (Blue River morph?) You can certainly keep them together if your want to, but it is ultimatly more fun to keep two or more of the same species separately in different tanks. I don't like to mix, because it spoils the fun of watching the interactions of perhaps 4 or more of the same species of darts together.



For show and tell display, mixing has worked for many people. Zoos do it. For my own personal pleasure, I prefer separating the differnt species into separate set-ups and giving them their own territory. Rather than buy one single frog of different species, I'll purchase four of each and hope for a mating and some action.



It just depends upon what you want and how involved you get. I have 13 tanks with 10 species of dart frogs, some separated into mating pairs, plus fish aquariums, including a 200 gallon tank of cichlids. It's hard to go on a vacation when you get this involved.
