Old thread, just wanted to say thanks for the link. Kihansi Spray Toads are high up on the list of species that I want to see, and there isn't much information about them available (or maybe I just didn't look very hard).

And, on a status-in-captivity update, Toledo Zoo is still breeding these toads by the bucket-load (almost literally: they have over 3,000 specimens).
The Bronx is also highly successful, with over 2,000 specimens.
Smaller numbers are held by the Detroit and Chattanooga zoos.

According to Wikipedia (which is usually correct with animals) Chattanooga Zoo also has an exhibit for them, while Henry Doorly Zoo also holds some.
