[1] Scientists named this frog minima, the Latin term for "very small."

[4] Scientists infer that the female frog lays eggs in leaf litter and that, after the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water, like its congeners, but neither event has yet been reported as observed.

[1] The IUCN classifies this frog as data deficient, in part because its habitat is so remote and difficult to reach and in part because, in recent years, there has been armed conflict between guerrillas and the government of Colombia.

What threats it faces are inferred to involve deforestation associated with subsistence logging, and possibly capture for the international pet trade, as with other visually striking frogs from Chocó.

[1] This frog lives near one protected park, Parque Nacional Utría but has yet to be confirmed within it.
