Population Tinging Frog
The population an animal's ancestors came from, and what frogs from there look like — the blue of an Azureus, the yellow and black of a Citronella, the size and pattern that go with each place.
How it is produced
- Where it comes from
- This is not a single gene. It is produced by choosing which animals to breed, over generations.
- What that means for breeding
- No offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Population is produced by selective breeding over generations, not by a single gene, so no offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Worth knowing. In dart frogs the word "morph" means a population rather than a gene, so it does not combine with another morph and no pairing gives a ratio. Keepers hold that morphs should never be crossed: the offspring belong to no population, cannot honestly be sold as either parent, and captive dart frogs stand in for wild ones that are declining, so the lineages are the whole point of keeping them.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
