    I would think six adults and maybe 15 to 20 babies. depending on how many plants and hiding places you have in the tank.

    The tank is way too small for that many red-eyes. Also, I would not house "babies" with adults or you will lose them to the hunger of the larger frogs.

    i have had that many red eyes in that size of cagte before and they do just fine. i wasnt talking about keeping the babies together with the adults.

    OK, but still that is tight quarters for a that many red-eyes. How successful were you in keeping them? How long did you have them?

    Six is way too many! How in the world would you keep it clean with that many frogs in such a small tank!? I would honestly say no more then two...but thats just my opinion. Just because you could fit 15-20 babies in one tiny tank does not mean you should....

    I may not have a choice. I have a ton of red-eye tadpoles at the moment and they are just starting to sprout legs.

    When I was a kid I thought it was great to stuff in as many specimens as I could in an enclosure. After all, that's the way the pet shops kept them! You learn quickly and unfortunately that it doesn't work. Give them room! For what is essentially a 10-12 gallon aquarium turned on its side, I would keep it to 2 adults .
