Description
Raise one of the rarest and most visually striking dart frogs from tadpole to adult with our UK-bred Dendrobates tinctorius ‘Tumucumaque’ – also known as the Peacock Dart Frog. With their deep black bodies and crisp white or icy-blue markings, these frogs mature into showstoppers with bold contrasts and elegant patterns.
Peacock Dart Frogs are slightly larger than Azureus and known for their calm disposition, strong feeding response, and striking appearance. These tadpoles are captive bred in the UK and reared in optimal conditions to support healthy, robust development.
