OK, so I am about to get into dart frogs, and was looking for some insight into a few issues:
#1--What are everyone's thoughts on mixed-specie vivaria? Also, is aggression in azureus and tinctorious more of a conspecific aggression or is it more of a generalized "all other frogs suck" aggression?

#2--Who is the best supplier of frogs out there? Saurian Ent. seems pretty good but if a could get some testimonials that would be awesome

#3--Does anyone out here have experience with E. tricolor or P. bicolor? I really like both of these frogs and was wondering if anyone could give soem insight. Any insight on D. galactonotus would be great also.

Lastly, I was planning on getting a 40 breeder for a group of say 5-6 frogs, possibly of mixed species (hence question #1), for instance a pair of azureus, tinctorious, Phyllobates sp. and 3-4 galactonotus; or a single specie group setting of any of the communal species.

Also, at the zoo where I work we maintain a dart collection of about 22 D. azureus, 15 D. tinctorious, 9 D. auratus, and 1 D. leucomelas in a 300 gallon terraria, and I observe little aggression, conspecific or intraspecific (due to large space perhaps?)

Thanks ahead of time,
Troy

I'm a zookeeper....listing all of my children would take a long time
