Description
Ranitomeya sirensis ‘Orange’ is a small thumbnail dart frog from Peru, where lives among the forest understory, leaf litter, and water-holding plants. Their bold striped patterning develops from yellow to orange as they mature, and males have a pleasant, noticeable call. This locale does well in setups with leaf litter, bromeliads, film canisters, and other deposition sites. They show parental care, with males transporting tadpoles and females provisioning them with unfertilized eggs, though tadpoles can also be pulled and raised individually. They feed well on Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. Captive-bred animals from Holotypica are raised with care and offered only once they are feeding well and established.
