Are you in Australia by any chance? Cause its winter here. Could you please post your country in your profile, location would be helpful as well. By posting this information you help us to help you that much better.

Punctuation would help, as I am having a difficult time reading your post.

Now on to your question. Personally, I would prefer fire-bellied toads. They are colorful, easy to care for, inexpensive, and are fun to watch. Most of my frogs are fed once a week. Small frogs and froglets more frequently.

Firebellies are more active than Pacmans, and almost always entertaining to watch them hunt down food. Also they are more vocal than Pacmans.

I favor an ornate pacman. They're colorful, very aggressive, and get between 5-6 inches. If firebellys weren't so toxic I'd drop a handful in my pacman tank.

The only downside of pacmans is that most of the time they really do nothing. They just sit in their dirt. Until mice come into view.

That's why fire-bellied are more interesting, they are ten times more active. Their shenanigans can be quite entertaining, as they are constantly trying to mate. Doesn't matter what the genders are of any of its tank mates, a male fire-belly will jump on anything that moves.

Colorful, mating frogs > fat, lazy frog

Its a no-brainer for me. Also, I have never been able to keep a pac-man alive for more than a year. Thats why I never give advice on them.

Really? I wonder why you have problems with them.

I really like the look of the pacmans. But the fire-belly toads at work are just so much fun. They're such clowns.

[Kurt]

If I knew why, then I would be able to keep them. Besides the only one that interests me is Ceratophrys cornuta.

Pacman frogs are pretty when you can see them without all the earth on top of them, but aside from that they are probably the most boring pet frog, except at feeding time.
