Just wanted to mention that Petco is having their $1 per gallon sale right now. Great time to snag one up of you're looking to go bigger. A 20 gallon tall would be great and would only cost $20.

"I am no expert" Is something we all hear a lot, but I am not expert! I would get a bigger tank, And the sale will make it more "budget friendly". So go for it!![]()
Kristen and Brian are correct. 5 gallons is too small for 1 frog let alone 2.... TEN GALLONS per frog is correct. check craigslist for good deals on a tank. a 20 gallon high would be fine for them. also petsmart is having a sale on exo-terras and they are the cheapest ive ever seen them. $79.99 for a 18x18x24. plus you wouldnt have to get it shipped![]()
I would definitely go for a bigger tank. As others have already mentioned a 20 gallon high tank would be much more roomier for your two Green Tree Frogs. I would also think about putting more things to climb/perch/hide on in your new tank once you get it. They are adorable!
Ok. I measured my tank and the dimensions are 18x18x12. Would an 18x18x20 be a good upgrade? That's the biggest tank offered at my local pet store since Petco and Petsmart are quite a drive away.
Assuming those dimensions are in inches your current tank is nearly 17 gallons and there's no rush to move to the bigger one (see Conversions and Aquarium Volume Calculator @ petfish.net). However it wouldn't hurt and 18x18x20 would be a great upgrade. As a bonus if move to a bigger size you can use the smaller tank to house new frogs
.
I'd pend your money now on adding some real plants. Pothos (devils ivy) is an easy to care for vine. Some of the upright growing Peperomia obtusifolia would give some instant cover and perches low heights and will eventually fill upwards. There are hundreds of other options.
I would go 18x18x24 at least or let them go. Just remember you caught them, they came from the wild and now they are stuck in a small enclosure. Bigger will always be better, and you need a lot more things in the cage, hiding spots and so on. (What others already mentioned)
