Community tank

[Lady Leean]

Hi

I have 4 gray tree frogs an I was thinking about starting a community tank. Does any one have any ideas for plants and fish that could coexist well with each other and the gray tree frogs.

Thanks

#1 Rule NEVER MIX BREEDS (most Frogs have toxins that are harmful to other species and if not the same size they will try and eat eachother)

Also make sure your tank is large enough for 4 frogs ... rule to try and go by is 1 Frog per 10 Gallons.

I have a 18x18x24 exo terra that im allowed up to 4 greys due to them being a smaller frog species.

Also I hear pothos is one of the best and least likely to die terrarium plants =)
I currently only have plastic plants, some vines, hiding log, and I magnetic rock perch up high and a water dish for bathing.

Hope that Helps!

does that applie to fish too?

I have a 20 gallon tank with half land half water
In that tank i have 1 chinese warty newt, 2 firebelly toads, and about 7 guppies
They have all been happily living together for a while now
I think that mixing species is fine as long as you do your research and have enough space for all the animals

As for fish if you have a large enough water section guppies should be fine

Is a guppie like the crowntail fish they sell at most pet stores?

Is there a risk of drowning with tree frogs if you make a pool deep enough for the fish? I would not recommend putting the fish in there. Also, my gray tree frogs are quite aggressive eaters, I can imagine one taking a snap at the fish and then struggling to get back out of the water. What size tank do you have? I have 4 gray tree frogs in a 35 gallon tank, and there wouldn't be enough space in there, in my opinion, to give the guppies the water they need and space for the gray tree frogs.

Well guppies are a small type of fish that only grow up to about 1 inch
They breed very easy and are very cheap

As for finding them go to the nearest petstore and ask for guppies
They should have them, every petstore i have gone to has had guppies
