    Here's a care sheet on this forum for you to help you choose your first frog. Frog Forum - Choosing a Frog. Pacmans are easy on captivity level excluding C. Cornuta or C. Aurita (Not sure about the Aurita, but those are pricey), those can be intermediate. It's all based on husbandry, personal choice, budget. Since I'm into larger more voracious eaters I naturally would recommend you to get a pacman or pixie frog.

    I've found that the less decoration in a pacman's tank the better. I know some people recommend hides, but mine is perfectly content to just burrow in dirt. I used to have a hide in his tank, but he just ignored it for three weeks, and it was taking up a lot of space, so it's not there anymore. He does have a fake aquarium plant in there, but that's more because I wanted some greenery than because he really seems to like it. Mainly, as long as they have a water bowl and dirt, they'll be happy.

    Just a heads up for when you're deciding on species: Petco and Petsmart have a tendency to sell Cranwellis as Ornatas while they're still babies. I personally don't mind that I have a cranwelli, but if you really want the bright ornate colors be really careful picking out your frog

    My pacs and pixies are not shy at all. They are not scared at all. I don't handle them at all. They are for display only in the beginning.
