Herbickson 1950 Phylllobates subpurotatus Dec. 29 (Notes on captive animals in Berkeley) Several adults, including some bearing tadpoles on their backs, were brought home from Colombia successfully, and have been kept in an aquarium in the M.V.Z. bone room at about 12°C. Eventually all but two tadpole carriers were killed; on Dec. 28 both those were still carrying their tadpoles; one was killed then. On Dec. 29, (today) the tadpoles had all left the frog except for two tails hanging on the extreme post. end of the adult's body. The tode which had fallen off "were on the bottom of the aquarium in a thin film of water there. They were quite active. There was little or no yolk visible in the guts of the tadpoles. Water then added to depth of 1/2". (#12/29/50) Color notes on one of the tails: Animal invested in milky-clear envelope overlaying opaque, dark-pigmented tissue of body proper. Region of outer envelope ant. to and between eyes with an irregular, loose net of melanophores. Loose scattering of small green-gold guanophores in envelope, mostly post. to eyes, and maina.
