Picture comingPairs spawn in repeated upside-down turnovers in amplexus; the eggs sink into the female's back skin and develop directly, emerging as about 2 cm froglets after 12-20 weeks (3-4 months), with no free tadpole stage.
A group of adults of both sexes in a large tank.
150 L+ tank with deep soft water, no strong flow, dark leaf litter.
Raised water level and temperature with abundant food.
About 60-100 eggs, embedded in the female's back; young emerge after 12-20 weeks.
Froglets emerge fully formed; feed small worms and daphnia.
Adults of both sexes are a similar size; a female ready to breed shows a ring-shaped swelling around the cloaca, and only females carry eggs in the back skin.
Typical for frogs, newts and turtles
