Colostethus beebei is the only species of its genus known to be a bromeliad specialist. It lives and breeds exclusively in the water-filled leaf axils, or tanks, of the giant terrestrial bromeliad (Brocchinia micrantha) which grow in humus caught in rock crevices in proximity to Kaieteur Falls. Brocchinia micrantha may reach meters in height. #text=All
