This one (on the left) really caught my eye. Its colors are fascinating. I can't tell frm he pic what species it is, but take a look at it!

...urmm from wat i see.....those could be fantasy....are the horns high? the skin smoother than the normal cranwells or the ornates? if so it could also be suriname. well my guess is that those are fantasy horned frogs.

cheers

They don't look like surinams...at least not full ones. The frame isn't right. Fantasies, as you mentioned like I did in my post, are the best guess.

And the sign says "No long hair freaky people need not apply." So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why. He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do. So I took off my hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you."-Tesla

Those colors are frequently seen in fantasy frogs. They could be pure, but without better pictures I would simply say hybrids.

Oops, I guess it means hybrid, but hybrids of what species?

Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but I think it is a hybrid of Ceratophrys Ornata and Ceratophrys Cranwelli. You give the frogs hormones so that they will breed. I also belive that "Fantsy Frogs" are sterile.

Fantasy frogs are crosses between the genus Ceratophrys. I believe the originals were called D&M fantasy frogs. They can be ornata x cranwelli, ornata x cornuta, or cranwelli x cornuta. I suppose the latter are more common, or at least I have seen more. With the colors of those 2, I would guess they have cornuta in them. There could be other combinations, but other species of horned frog are not common (IE calcarata, aurita).
