Males also have an enlarged neck sack that is used to croak and pick up chicks.
Dendrobates are diurnal which means day active and very territorial as well and will wrestle one another over territorial disputes. A male in his own territory will inflate his vocal sac to call a female that is ready to court. The female comes and follows the male to the site of egg laying and the two frogs may dance around one another or even rub noses. Mating procedures vary even within the same species. Sometimes the eggs are fertilized after the female has left.
