| Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Can you keep an African bullfrog and a big Toad like a Rococo toad and Cane toad in the some tank? I have a 4foot tank that is 18inch wide by 18inch high, is that big enough for two or even one? I have not got any Toads or frogs jet but would like to have. |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? No, they have very different housing requirements. Have a go at the "Care Info" link in the site toolbar for more information.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Keeping more then one separate species in one talk together is considered harmful for many different reasons. But you might be able to keep a group of one type of frog in there. |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Thanks very much. do you think that the size of tank is big enough for two of the same species together e.g 2 rococo toads? |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? It might be. I have a rococo in a 30-gallon. You realize rococo's can be on the pricey-side.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? I am sorry, to be honest I can't really understand the Measurements in gallons, only really in feet or inches, so please could you tell me in feet or inches. sorry. are rococo toads alot more pricey than cane toads? (but i suppose i would rather save and get a toad or frog that I really like rather than just getting a different one for the sake of it). I do like cane toads but I have read that rococo toad are better as pets and they get a bit bigger as well. |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Actually I believe Cane toads get larger. (Guinness Word records book 2006, 5lb and 15 inches)
Oh i think its: feet cubed x 7.5 = gallons |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Actually, rococos are bigger by 25 mm. A standard 30-gallon is 36" long x 12" wide x 18" high. The last two measurements were an educated guess.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? If I worked it out correctly I have 67.5 gallon tank (I used to keep two bearded dragons). I heard as well that the biggest in the world is a cane toad, but I read in captivity Rococo Toads get bigger. I was hoping I could keep more that one because I read that they are social animals. Thanks alot for teaching me the measurements, because every time I reed a care sheets on the internet they always have tank sizes in gallons. |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? I saw a advert one a website that sells frogs and toads, The advert said that they have Goliath frogs for sale for $25. I thought that they were really rare and expensive. heres the site if anyone wants to have a look http://alphaprobreeders.com/ |

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? I don't see Goliath frogs on there. Ron (the owner of AlphaProBreeders) is one of our forum sponsors. Occasionally there are members of the Conraua genus available (the genus of the Goliath Frog) but the actual species Conraua goliath is never available.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Most likely the frog that was offered was Conraua alleni.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? That video is at least a few years old. Conraua goliath is listed by the IUCN as an endangered species.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? I have seen Conraua goliath in the flesh, it was, however, a preserved specimen on display at the Havard University Museum of Natural History. It's a very big frog.

| Re: Can you keep Bullfrogs and Toads together in the same tank? Yeah I think it was made in 1993, but still interesting. They are great frogs. I hope they come off the endangered species list soon (meaning they are not endangered any more). I find youtube good for different
videos on frogs and toads. I have spent ages looking though them. |
