    Arrow I would really love your suggestion's on my next buy

    I found this Aquarium at Goodwill today for $15.00. Im not sure of the Gallon Size but it measures 4 Feet Long, 21 Inches High and 13 Inches in Depth.

    I am not sure as to what would be a great frog(s) for this enclosure. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be an awesome type of Frogs/Toads that would be a great suitable fit for this type of enclosure. (?)

    What I currently have is Tomato's, Fire Bellies(Asian), Albina Claw Frogs, White Lips, Whites Tree Frogs.

    That's an awesome find!
    It would probably work best with a terrestrial species. If I had it, there would be toads going in there

    Asian Spectacled ones they have several different names, but scientifically they're
    Duttaphrynus melanostictus.

    Hi there,

    I definitely think dart frogs would be a great idea. I am pretty new to keeping dart frogs but do not find them too difficult. Research is a must however. I am learning new things all the time and truly love my frogs. A recommendation for your tank might be leucomelas or tinctorius.
    P.S. what a score on that tank!!!

    Good luck with whatever choice you make,

    Judy

    Dart frogs are pretty easy to care for once the setup is ready. Just don't mess with them like you would any other frog. I would go with a group of leucomelas. They seem to do better in groups compared to tincs.
