Mixing Frogs?

[canadian1]

Ive allready got 2 american green tree frogs, one male one female. I was thinking of adding a third to the mix a whites tree frog, but was curious if they are compatible to live together since whites do get quite a bit larger then the americans. If there all well fed would they be ok to live together or is there going to be a constant risk that the whites would eat the other two little guys?

thanks for any info!

It is recommended that only same species be kept together due to their different secretions. They can make each other I'll and stress one another, unfortunately. How about another green?

Definitely do not mix frogs.

Well thanks for the quick replys, kinda bums me out since they both seem to have the same climate / humidity requirements but eh better safe then sorry right.

Also wondering, would a whites tree frog be fine alone in a 10 galon tank? or would i be better off waiting for a bigger tank for two so it can have another to live with, i only ask cause it seems my american greens quite enjoy eachothers company and the male ribbits like crazy when they get seperated for cleaning.

Just depends on the size of the frog, if its an adult Whites, should be 18 x 18 x 24 at least they sound like cuties!!!

It would not be a good idea to add a Whites with american greens even if they wouldn't make one another ill. The Whites would more then likely kill and eat the small greens given the size difference. I use to have my whites and my greens tank side by side but I had to move them because the white would lunge at the side of her tank towards the green if he sat too close to that side. Hes only slightly bigger then the crickets she eats. @.@

And a 10 gal is suitable for frogs roughly 1 inch or smaller but whites get 2-3, sometimes females will grow to 4-5 inches long. And they grow fairly quickly. You would end up wasting money if you bought a smaller tank because you would have to upgrade to a 20+ as they approach adulthood.
