These Azureus dart frogs are one of those species that really do stand out. The bright blue colouring is ridiculous, and this particular trio are a lovely chunky size and look absolutely brilliant.
They are a 2:1 group of Dendrobates tinctorius “Azureus”, consisting of two males and one female. Azureus make a fantastic planted display species and are active, interesting frogs to watch, spending their time exploring the plants, leaf litter and décor around their enclosure.
As with all dart frogs, they are very much a species to watch and enjoy rather than handle. They do best in a stable, well-established tropical vivarium with plenty of natural cover, live plants and places to explore.
