I don’t think the 2.2 Varadero have been doing well in a 67 gallon tank. In fact I’m pretty sure one ate the other’s tadpoles. Okay, they were still in the yolk, but they were totally ready to come out, and the other pair at them. Not the pair in the picture though. At least I think this is a pair in the picture. They keep following each other, so I’m guessing that I guessed right. The one in the back is a male. The one in front is the female. As long as I’m right about her being the female, this is a mated pair. They keep following each other around since I moved them tonight and they are not attacking each other, so I’m probably right. Maybe. Hmmm . . .

On a different subject the Yuri 1.1 is confirmed! finally a clutch of eggs. So now I have a proven:

• 1.1 Varadero (Breeding)
• 1.1 Varadero (Breeding)
• 1.1 Golden Tarapoto (Breeding)
• 1.1 Yurimaguensis (Eggs)
• 1.1 Banded Intermedius (Eggs)
• 1.1 Intermedius (Eggs)
• 1.1 Bajo Huallaga (Eggs)

I don’t think the Bajo Huallaga or the Intermedius will ever breed. I’m starting to question the Banded. But I now have hope for the Yuri. So I’ll try to be happy. But I really like to have a complete collection, and that means 7 different types. So I really need to get all seven going. Oddly at the same time I seem to have collected three different types of Tarapoto. Only the golden ones are breeding, but since I care about them the most, I’m happy enough with just one breeding pair.

Hey, I think this tadpole that is on the back of father here is this morphed out little dude! Maybe I’ll need to introduce the mother and the father to their new son. Although I’m not sure if they really care. Do frogs care about their froglets? No one tells me these things. I don’t think they do. Sure they feed the tadpoles, but once they morph out I’m pretty sure they need to go fend for themselves. Quasi sure. Okay, I’m sure of nothing. This is all a learning process.
