Jim sorry about my English language
^^^^^^^^ hmm and probably below as well I do try but nowt will change...hey ho
Jim we would typically start with a group of 6 to 8(maybe more it depends on clutch size really) in a tub with the tincs. Once they are away, say about 8 to 12 weeks we would split that group down usually in half. Jim, I always put the smaller guys in the group into the new tub. Sure there is the potential for them to get stressed by the move, but it's minimal, really, into a glass into the tub walk out. I feel they get the new tub heaving with micro fauna and I think that gives them a kick forwards if you like.
These azzies we spilt very early down to 2's and 3's one 4 and have grown like rockets they are very robust,some of which one might glean from the pictures. My guts are leading me towards the less frogs I have per tub the better they do,maybe with the exception of singles,which may or may not react unfavourably to being kept on their own,I did that with the atachis, I had no problems,but that was much later in their lives. 1 to 2 year mark
Jim with a lot of frogs coming through as you'll have for a while I think you'll need to be ready with a good few "off view" tubs and be constantly splitting down the numbers . What I would imagine is at around the 4 month mark some will find their way out to new homes and this is almost part of that process,obviously I don't know all your plans,but I would imagine some would be held to grow on for your own breeding projects.
Jim we all have different set ups different ways of rearing, I don't think this is "the right way", but as I learn more I'm ever leaning towards smaller numbers of frogs per tub especially with tincs . I think they bully each other a bit,leastways there is potential for that, plus I also believe they need so much grub when growing that the lower stocking density helps me provide them with a consistency of available food, that to use Glenns phrase,they can graze on.
Jim I don't know whether you know I use a basic tub very cheep two vents on opposite sides 6cm diameter covered in ff proof mesh,siliconed inside and out around the mesh edges. I put a good layer of coarse orchid bark covered with part broken down leaf litter and whole leaves in as subs,all microwaved 15mins. When all is to room temp I plant with something quick growing,inch plant often cheep needs little light dead easy to grow,then add coco hut whole leaves and loads of white iso and loads of springs,leave for a week maybe two until the mold process sorts it'self out,then ready to use.
Jim one wants something very straight forwards to set up and tare down and sterilize,between batches of kids and for me with the space problems stackable aswell. The tubs being so cheep I have a stock of them always ready to go. Jim I don't think a tub will ever be a match for a viv in anyway shape or form. I don't really like the fact I use them. But I need a tool for a job that functions and that I can set up and tare down quick,on tare down I'll burn everything bar the coco huts,which get boiled for ages and reused.
The practicalities of a good few kids hitting land and very cheep simple set ups mean I feel little need to overcrowd anyone,I've outlined why I feel this is important,one simply can only guess what might morphout so I'd always rather have more homes ready than not. They can simply just sit and wait if not used,they just need a bit of water and food for the feeders and tick over.
You don't need me to say this,but I will anyway for the next guy,hammer the culturing of feeders especially springtails ,tincs need so much grub. I don't ever feel I have enough and I probably over culture by 2X. We feed springtails and ff to all tinc kids at every feed,ahh the joy of being part of a team. A side note shaz does ff,I do springs,don't ever go from ff to springtails...EVER,such a risk of mite transfer to the springtails !! We are picky on this one,she won't touch anything I am using like the mister or yeast for the springs.
Jim that is pretty much my method at this time,i'm 4 years in DO NOT KNOW IT ALL I'm learning,evaluating honing a method,it isn't perfect !!!! I'd love to have 3 or 4 in a 2foot cube viv and that viv just be used for that offspring from one set of parents,but it's never going to happen. So i'm making the best of what I have. But I am getting some fabulous feedback on the kids we are producing by folks actually seeing them not just pictures and more important I'm fairly happy with our kids(I'll never have it right mate,that is my nature) . But we seem to be on the right track and can handle a goodly few frogs without any pressure to unload quickly or overcrowd them. I think this flexibility of a home that is cheap, easy to set and tare down, is a huge thing for my frogs,even if I still don't really care for tubs,it works,simple as that.
Jim I would always try to put myself in a place where my back is really covered what ever hatches or morphs out I work to that best possible senario. what I'm saying is if i set 100eggs I'm ready with homes and food when 100tads morph and will be ready for what ever they need as they grow way before that time is upon me. I can't guarantee I can buy food here on this scale the buck stops here,we simply can't drop the ball.So I am always thinking backup:if I lost all the ff and all the srpingtails in one horrible disaster I have my iso as the back up plan not ideal but food while we get back on our feet
I hope this helps mate,i've tried to bang my thoughts over as well on why I make these choices regarding the tools used. The nice thing for me at this stage is Shaz and I have reared some tincs to full size,a bit under WC size to be fair I didn't quite get there.... close, but room for improvement, which has given us a handle on what to expect. These guys require a level of disciplin re food, which you again already know,I think folks get caught early in their froggy careers which is why we so often see stunted tincs
Being prepared well in advance is the most help I could give anyone which ever method they choose to rear tinctorious.
Good luck buddy ,you'll be fine,bit of a ramble,but some facets hopefully of use. I know where you are heading, my atachis "tank rip" and "tiger" kicked out 40plus tads in weeks !! I never thought they would all hatch let alone rear the tads!! I didn't have a clue!! But even though, with all my heart, I couldn't believe it could happen being ready meant no stress for the froggers
I'm horrendously slow a complete tortoise but the graft while everyone else had their frogs and we SO SO wanted ours but just sat here culturing and reading,gave us such a start,we didn't have to struggle when it did go right..

The funniest was each male sneaking up behind the other as the female followed , the robotic hand slaps turning her and then stealing her,it actually went on for hours,hilarious to watch:suddenly the male would turn round and his lass had run off with another guy( not so different to humans really 
) . Jeepers mate I can't count oophaga kids for love nor money. Since I pulled those big kids I mentioned to you things have picked up all ways, I've been saying to shaz for a while now I think we have 3 red cemetery kids not two, but it's 4:two slightly bigger and a bit more stripey rather than spotty, two smaller more spotty,i've been mixing the two big and two small up seeing them all separately but only identifying two as the two from each size are so similar. Ruddy hopeless we are, first the christmas red head kids now can't count the pums either..
