Folks,

Has anyone heard of or had an experience with Leucomelas hybridizing with Tinctorius?

I have 2 adult Tincs with 6 adult Leucs and have one offspring that looks a little like each. (Sorry, no pic available at this time). It morphed approx. 3.5/4 months ago and is about 3/4" long. It has a Tinc pattern on its back, but the legs are Tinc-ish but with yellow as opposed to being blue like the true Tincs are. This is the only froglet I have been able to raise up. The Leucs are the only ones heard calling and sometimes seen in amplexus (but usually male on male).

I did not think that these two species could reproduce but this little guy appears to be the proof! Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Nick

Hallo Nick

All forms of tinc's can interbreed with leuc and auratus so keep them apart unless you destroy the eggs
