I don't know that frog, but that aquarium setup looks nice. I have an idea in mind for a West Africa biotope riparium. I have a friend who took a trip to Cameroon last winter--he's going again next year--and he got really great biotope pictures. All of the familiar West African aquarium plants were heavily represented, including Anubias, Bolbitis and Crinum. He also got a couple of Pelvichromis type cichlids, tetras and eels. Their group also discovered a new cichlid species. I have done well planting Anubias right into those riparium planters using hydroton pebbles as substrate, capped with a thin layer of Turface gravel to hold some nutrients and to keep the hydroton from floating away. Bolbitis is a great plant for this. Once it adapts to emersed growth it really takes off and it has a wonderful texture.

Thank you – I just lucked out. I looked in the viv, figured out why the male was having a bit of a soak, found the camera (minor miracle) and snapped the shot before he hopped away (major miracle). I saw him later in the afternoon w/o any hitchhikers – time for new almond leaves in the water.

He has indeed been honored – the Oranges, Orange-heads and one other morph (at least) have been split out as Ameerega pepperi.

pepperi?!?

Wouldn’t you like to be a pepperi too?

Showing my age with that one.

So, our pal from the north who spends all his time in the south has been honored?
