Description
Introducing a beautiful, UK-bred adult pair of Almirante Oophaga pumilio – one of the most vibrant and iconic dart frog morphs in the hobby. Known for their fiery red bodies, crisp black spotting, and confident activity levels, the Almirante locality has long been a favourite for keepers who enjoy bold display animals in a well-planted rainforest setup.
These frogs were bred and raised here in the UK and are now fully mature, established, and thriving on a varied diet of fruit flies, springtails, and micro-calcium dustings. They are feeding perfectly, maintaining excellent body condition, and showing the classic posture and personality associated with their locality.
