I have lots of information for you, but I'd rather not bore the forum members with it.

2.2.0 Asian Floating Frogs (Occidozyga Lima)
1.1.0 White's Tree Frog (Litoria caerulea)

Post it! I'd like to try these guys when I pull them out of their dry cycle

There's plenty of info available on the web and more never hurts.

You will need a very large tank and probably a rain chamber, though (expensive!), so this isn't a beginner's breeding project or anything. It is highly rewarding, though, and if you have everything right you're likely to have great success. Good luck!

since you say it is expensive...how much approximately would the whole breeding set-up (rain chamber) costs a prospective breeder? When you say it is "rewarding", do you mean financially, or experientially?

Approximately how big is a cluth size, and how oftne a year would a cluth be produce?

Last question, is it absolutely compulsory to have a rain-chamber to breed RETF, or has anyone had success without a rain chamber?

thanks again

It'll run you a lot... probably $200 at least, but I'm sure some people can get into that with you better. You can go to talkto.thefrog.org and ask Nate because he breeds them regularly. He'll give you plenty of info!

I say it's rewarding both financially and experience-wise, at least if you plan to sell. Tadpoles and babies each fetch upwards of ten dollars. I can't tell you how many are in a clutch, but even if there are 300 eggs most won't survive. Still, with a few clutches, your money can be won back quickly, as soon as you build up a reputation for selling if you choose to.

I'm not sure that it's necessary to use a rain chamber, but I haven't talked to anyone who has bred and not used one. Either way, you couldn't bet on them breeding unless you were using one.
