Community Tree Frog Tank

[KittyKatMe]

I was thinking of setting up a 55 gallon viquarium with about 1/4 water and 3/4 land. I will heavily plant both land and water. Can I have Tree Frogs in 6 inch water? There will be a slope to get out. If so, what kind? I was thinking of American Green or Grays. Is this adequate for about 4 frogs? Any help would be appreciated.

Vietnamese Mossy Tree Frogs... LOVE water they would need a tank that is mostly water though. For mine I have the entire bottom as water and then have bamboo and other water loving plants coming up and out with a fake background.

I was leaning more towards american Tree Frogs, but I will consider them

That would be a HUGE tank for tree frogs. Usually the ratio is 10 gallons per frog, so essentially you could keep 5 in there; but American Green Tree Frogs and Grey Tree Frogs don't get that big...so you could probably keep a few more in there.

Thank you! I will probably stick to 3 or 4 American Green Tree Frogs. I want a big tank because I am planning to have a beautiful backdrop, a waterfall, and a custom fogger. Plus lots of terrestrial and aquatic plants. I am getting a TetraFauna Viquarium kit for it, so I needed it to be tall enough for Tree Frogs, but also long enough for the waterfall and water area. Also, will they be able to swim well in it?

If you have proper humidity - which American Green Tree Frogs don't require that much humidity - they probably won't be in the water that often.
