Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I used to read this forum religiously a number of yrs ago when I was new to the hobby. After I got the hang of caring for my frogs, other things came up... and I hadnt checked in here in a LONG time.

A lot has changed since then.. More classes/families of frogs I'm not familiar with I'd appreciate someone getting me up to speed on.... Also no one was using great stuff...

I see that Azureas was combined to tincs, but I only remember:
dendrobates,
Miniobates
phylobates
epidobates

I guess the egg feeders became oophol**** something? Hadnt heard of miniobates in awhile either.. is it still a valid term or did it go away too?

I have a "green sipilowani" tinc (one escaped) in a 20gal with false bottom and water fall. Sorry no pics. Got him in 2000 and he's still going strong.

I have a corner unit tank (no idea what size) I'm thinking about building out as a false bottom and water feature/great stuff. It will be a while before I get around to building it out. I want to move the tinc into it and give him some company- I had a pair and the female escaped- before her going MIA, he would call constantly, and chase her around the tank- he's been lonely for the last several yrs...

Regards,
Postal!

People are still using great stuff Maybe not on this forum, but on dendroboard they are. There's this stuff called handifoam now that is a little better from what I've heard.

D. azeurus is now a subspecies of D. tinctorius. This classification change was published about a yearish ago. It changed the classification of egg feeders from dendrobates to oopha, and of thumbs (imis, lamasi,vents...) to Ranitomeya. and the dendrobates group now includes auratus, leucs, tincs... and some other minor stuff got changed, but those are the biggies.

miniobates is still valid, i think.
you gotta get some pics!
