In Great Need of Assistance

[HI]

I know a ton more about fish than frogs (main reason I came here). I thinnk im getting this frog and toad tank stocking thing all wrong. With fish for example you probably know the larger the tank the better and a most species are compatable. I really only know general how to care for a frog or toad, but idk anything about compatablity. I was reading around and would it in general for example 3 10 gal tanks rather than one 29 gal if you wanted to keep 3 different types of frogs and/or toads that can tolerate similar temp, humidity, light, etc conditions?I was thinking of getting a new 29 or 40 gal tank but dont know if i should go fish or frogs. If i can only keep 1 species in the 29, then ill probably go fish and then get a 10 gal. I'm kinda new i got my toad in august of 2011 and i did a lot of research on frogs for school projects in the past (my favorite animals have been frogs for so many years). I dont want anything too expensive in the easy to medium care range, not nocturnal or terrified of me (I dont really handle my toad unless necesary). I dont know how to properly stcka frog tank or how/if you can combine diff types of frogs and toads. Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum.
Frogs in most cases are not to be combined due to the chance of one poisoning the other. Each species secretes different toxins and frogs absorb drink, chemicals, and so on through their skin. When they travel the same areas, use the same water, they slowly poison each other.

In the wild, they are not confined and rain, wind, continued changes in weather cleanses things so you will find multiple species in one area, but in the confines of a small space it is a slow process of decreasing health.

It is recommended that your tanks be 10 gallons per frog and the more space provided the better. When setting up a tank, one should keep in mind the conditions the frog comes from. IE: tree frogs should be provided height, vines, branches, and so on since they are not found on the ground. Where as a toad will did up substrate, climb on low lying objects and crawl up under vegetation.

Hope this helps.

A good beginner tree frog is a White's. If you consider this species, just hope you get a female though because from what I have seen, the males are LOUD.
