Breeding
The bronzed frog typically breeds along the edges of gently-flowing and/or in pockets of still water along the streams. The muddy colour of the tadpoles matches well with the substratum of the stream. The oral armature is well-suited for grazing at the bottom. In near permanent water, the tadpoles may have longer metamorphic duration (3–4 months)to enable body growth and emergence of larger/stronger froglets.
