Nope. Mixing any dart frogs is not a good idea, but especially when mixing involves D. azeurus, they are pretty territorial and would take advantage of the leucs communative demeaner. When they are little it might be ok, but past 6 months would be putting the leuc in danger. Even if you didn't have problems with territoriality, what do you wish to accomplish by doing this? To say you have two different colored frogs in the same tank? They don't live together in the wild and should not be forced to in captivity. I have kept both species of frogs and I promise you that both species are plenty fasanating by themselves.

I've had these frogs housed togeather in the past and they did fine togeather for over two years. in fact they even took to sleeping in the same crevice togeather. they have since been separated and plans for breeding have begun.

I've had these in the same tank for quite some time. However, it is a very large tank which is the only reason why I put them in together. It has many tall plants and hiding places all over and they seem to get along. But I would only do this is you have a very large tank. If I recall correctly the one I have is about a 45 gallon for just the 2 of them. I used to have two of each but now just one of each. Which I'm sure some may blame on housing them together but I never witnessed them fight or need to compete for food. So long as you provide enough food and enough space in my opinion its fine. Sorry for the long post
