i have read on at least one web site that darts are best kept seperated from other species of darts but if the enclosure is large enough(mine is) you can house a few different species together,without much of a problem.not all species,but they mention that leucs and azureus are two that would be ok.can anyone mention any others that may be ok to add to these two?are these ok to add to the above 2 mentioned frogs? im just looking for a way to create an assortment of color and diverrsity if i was to go ahead and give this a try.oh by the way,i have concluded(i could very well be wrong)that leucs are the largest dart species.am i correct? exactly how large?what about azureus?

What size tank are we talking about? It is hard to create a "large enough" environment in a tank - especially when you think about what small amount of the forest floor your tank represents. If these are your first frogs, then I would discourage mixing species until you have a bit of experience under your belt. It would be much better for you to learn about the behaviors and personalities of each species before you put them together.

My adult azureus are larger than my adult leucs, and are the largest of any I keep.
When I was considering mixing because I had a 135 gallon paludarium, Patrick (Saurian) suggested that the imitators and galactonotus (orange splash back, not the red) might do O.K. together. However, when I discovered that the galacs as young frogs also utilized the bromeliad leaves and the imitators spent some time on the bottom, I didn't even try it. As the galacs matured, now 6 years old, they no longer climb much and have chosen the smallest area of the tank to live in all together, seldom going into the larger space across the "lagoon."
