[2][3] This diurnal frog lives near narrow streams that run through in forests on mountains and in lowlands.

The female frogs lay eggs in the leaf litter near streams.

After the eggs hatch, the male frogs carry the tadpoles to ponds in the streams.

It is threatened by habitat loss associated with human-set fires, unrestricted tourism, and forest conversion to agriculture and urban areas.

[1] Scientists have reported the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the area but surveys did produce any infected Mannophyrne herminae.
