Plethodonthyla mihanika (PLMI) is one of many amphibians around the world that is threatened by the chytrid, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Captive breeding can be used as a method of conservation to maintain wild populations with the introduction of Bd. The captive breeding of PLMI is a process that is not documented or understood. This study focuses on discovering the optimum tank conditions for the PLMI and optimizing the health and development of the egg clutches.
