The last and final edition to my 70-gallon trifecta to add the “Blue” color is a 1.2 group of “Cauchero.” Imported in 2014 by Strictly, and raised by Simply Natural Dart Frogs. I contacted them and made arrangements June 12th. And here on June 13th they have arrived.

I was suprised at how small they were. About as small as the “Loma Partida.” I suspect it’s because all my “San Cristobal” girls have gotten fat and sassy in their tanks. It’s hard to remember back to how skiddish they were the first few days.

My new “Cauchero” group is currently hiding on the floor in some high foliage, in deep discussion about the new state of affairs. But they still allowed me to take some nice photos!

Okay, blue is nice. But specks and spots and racing stripes are better. Perhaps I should have been more bold and gotten what looked sweet and left it at that.

That being said, I paid extra for a 1.3 breeding group, and so far, they look awesome and have delivered what they promised. Tads, tads, tads! I don’t know where they are being transported to. I just think I’m going to need to increase misting and start draining the tanks! I love tads! And with tanks this big, they can live with the parents for quite a while.

Now I admit, the new guys have been here less than 24 hours. So I have to give them a break. Let them eat springtails and get comfortable in their tanks until they feel free to call to their hearts content. It will happen.
