Most species of Breviceps prefer a Mediterranean climate similar to the chaparral of southern California and Arizona. In fact, one species Breviceps namaquensis,does not inhabit water at all. Grif is absolutely correct - these frogs will not thrive in the same environment as a pacman frog. These frogs love to eat termites and ants, like most species in the Microhylid family.

To add to the confusion, there is another group of rain frogs from Madagascar, genus Scaphiophryne. They are fairly common in the pet trade and are quite secretive. Some members of this genus can be kept in a tropical or montane forest environment.
