Tripod

Well, Paul - does Tripod need a girlfriend? I mean, not that I want any more frogs run over in my yard or anything. Do two of these types of frogs co-exist well? Does it matter if they're male/female or male/male?

Years ago, I kept fish (Cichlids) and I had to be very careful with some of the species. Some were extremely possessive and aggressive toward other fish. Since I don't know anything about frogs, I wouldn't want to either deprive Tripod of companionship or subject him to an adversarial existence.

Btw, I would never consider turning him loose. He's a welcome addition to our home.

Mel welcome to the forum and congrats on your new family member. I had first seen the chorus frog when Jace posted her photos, hope we get to see more pics of Tripod from time to time. Would be curious to hear the story of your hubby operating on him, that's quite a feat!

Most frogs do not behave as cichlids do. These fish can be very territorial as you know. Most frogs are not. I have never known a single treefrog to be, while at the same time I have never known one to be social either. So no worries there. The only frogs I know to be territorial are some of the dart frogs.

Mel, I would not worry about getting Tripod another tank mate. If you do, I would get him another Pacific Chorus Frog and not try and mix and match. The only reason I have two is they came for the price of one. Now, because I am hooked on these little frogs, I am trying to find a female, but if I only have these two, I am more than lucky!

Never any pressure, Paul...besides, you always come through!

Ditto!

Pacific Chorus Frogs are quite social and I have never seen aggression in them, although I have seen males crowding each other for that "perfect" spot by the pool to call from. They are fine alone also. I'm very glad to hear you are keeping him.
