About

Dendrobates tinctorius is a terrestrial dendrobatid from the eastern Guiana Shield. Small forms reach 3.5 cm snout-vent length, most variants around 5 cm, and the largest up to 7 cm, making it one of the biggest in the genus. It is among the most variable poison frogs, with more than 30 recognised locality morphs; the all-blue cobalt form (formerly Dendrobates azureus) is now treated as a synonym of this species. It occurs in primary rainforest up to 600 m and breeds in phytotelmata formed in treefall gaps. Adults are territorial and are normally kept as male-female pairs. Wild frogs sequester dietary alkaloids, but captive-bred animals are not poisonous, and almost all frogs in the Japanese trade are captive bred.
