Some of the "blue" dart frogs I keep include; D. azureus, D. auratus
(blue), D. tinctorious (powder blue), D. tinctorious (cobalt), and D.
tinctorious (sipilawani). It is almost impossible to describe anurans
accurately without using scientific names. I am currently working on a
project to photograph the 15 plus types of dart frogs I am working with.
Attached please find a picture of my D. tinctorious (cobalt) .
