Description
The Dendrobates tinctorius ‘Powder Blue’ is one of the most sought-after dart frog morphs, known for its intense powder-blue colour, confident behaviour, and strong, hardy nature. These well-started juveniles are feeding reliably, growing steadily, and raised under carefully controlled conditions to ensure excellent health, strong structure, and vivid colouration.
Unlike more secretive species, tinctorius are typically bold and visible during the day, making them an outstanding display frog in any planted or bioactive vivarium. Their resilience and straightforward care also make them one of the best dart frogs for beginners.
All frogs have been raised with correct supplementation, humidity, and nutrition to promote long-term health and stability.
