I am very, very tempted by the red-eyes because of how pretty they are.... maybe I can find an alternate breeder to supply me, or just hope for the best with the store. But I'm really not sure about the size of the tank.... I know you can apparently keep one in 10 gallons, but it still seems just so small... I don't think I would even put a fish that big in there. Maybe once I get it down from the shed and start working on the false bottom, get a better feel for how big it is, I might re-evaluate.... maybe ask around about red-eye owners and how they act in their tanks...

I really have no idea why I'm so concerned about this. I trust the suggested tank size for fish all the time, I'm guessing that people have come to the conclusion that red-eyes can and will do just fine in a 10g, so I should be able to trust it. It just seems so tiny for me, for something that can cover a distance twice the length of my tank in a single leap.

It's a good thing I've got a long time before I'm ready for frogs, because it's probably gonna be a while before I decide on one. I just found out about the clown tree frog, which I think is my favorite small tree frog appearance-wise, but I can't for the life of me find a recording of its call. And I've read that it's described as 'loud', and also quite active at night.
