Pipa pipa toads

[Reggie]

Thanks for replying . 55 gallon seems abit small for 8 adults ? They are huge awesome beasts . I dont really want to use an underground filter . I was thinking of the canister filters that I used prior for my water turtles . I believe its for 200 gallon tanks . I would like to talk to other pipa pipa keepers as well . I'm not sure exactly how commonly or rarely these guys are seriously worked with . Thanks a million !

Your right about the size of these frogs and 55 gallon for 8 frogs would be the bare minimum. Check out the photo album for pictures of the 2 pipas I currently have. I haven't used the canister filters, so I cannot comment on them. It's been my experience that pipas are hard to come by. One pipa of mine is a rescue and the other is from a reptile sale. There is a Google Group called XFROGS that might help you out with your pipas. Well, it sounds like you have an ambitious project going on. Good luck!

I will take a look at your albums now and I will check out that group as well . Pipa pipa toads aren't rare here in the states , they are seasonal . I think they come in by the loads in late summer mostly to dealers in Florida . I hope I can get the project going and successful . Perhaps I play the Lion King soundtrack and some nice candles so they will procreate , hahahaha ! I will keep you updated in the months to come .
