Keeping pyxies with other pyxies?

[daltar08]

OK i'm purchasing a 29 gallon aquarium tommorow, and am doing a nice 2/3 land/water setup with high quality filters live plants ect. anyways i want to get two baby giant pyxies and am wondering if its ok to keep the frogs in the same aquarium together? some people say its ok some people dont, i would like all of your opinions on the matter, when they get larger, i will be getting a 40 gallon breeder, if they cannot be kept communally i will only be getting one . looking forward to the responses.

not sure about pyxies but i have 2 ornate pacmans housed together and they do just fine, dont attack or bother each other but are also well fed.
pyxies are very gluttonous though, and if there is a size difference the bigger one will attempt to eat the smaller one.

cool cool, i appreciate the info but id like to hear from a pyxie owner who knows about the topic! . that said i am ordering the frogs on friday so this info is quite important!

They will be fine. I have 12 pixies and none of them are in their own container. I have NEVER had a pixie frog try to eat another pixie. The only problems you may have are during feeding, as they will fight over food; however, if you make sure to separate them during their feeding time, they will be ok.

Yea i was hearing claims that they eat the legs or i will find one dead and half eaten but i guess this is rare or just doesnt happen. Loving this forum so far

I would never house my pyxie with another animal that i intended to keep! Mine is a pig, and i am sure he would try to eat it!
