Thread: Chubby/Asian Painted with a Tomato?

    Default Chubby/Asian Painted with a Tomato?

    Hello everyone, this is my first time on the forum and I would like to hear your thoughts on the idea of housing a chubby frog (aka Asian painted) with a tomato frog. As I have read the care is identical and the chubby frog was labeled as a tomato in the store due to their similarity with the dual stripping. Lastly I currently have the chubby in a 5 gallon with about 3 inches of very wet eco-earth, I’m guessing I would need a larger house for another frog.

    I would keep them in separate tanks. The Kaloula pulchra eats small prey, like small runners, small crickets or wood lice (in the wild they eat termites and ants). The tomato frog, be it real or false, eats larger prey, at least mine do, like large roaches, pinkie mice and so on.
    The tomato frog will be stressed out by the kaloula and vice versa, and the tomato frog might eat all the food the kaloula is soppused to eat, and so on.
