Will This Do as a RETF Habitat?

[YourSoJelly]

Would a 15 gallon and larger work for a RETF? They are hexagonal tall framed tanks, that look like they would be perfect for a pair of Red Eye Tree Frogs. I would of course personalize it to the frogs needs, this picture is set up for fish.

Looks great

Thank you. What plants work best with a RETF?

[redeyedtreefrog123451]

Really any plant live or fake that is nor rough but is sturdy you can also use fake bendy vines they sell im getting two baby Red-Eyed Tree Frogs also

What are the tank's dimensions? Red eyes should have 10 gallons of space per frog. They enjoy being in pairs or groups.

Pothos are great plants. They must be rinsed extra well to remove all soil, any possible fertilizer or pesticides. I leave my plants out for a few weeks after rinsing to be sure they are safe. Then I add them in.

The dimension for the photo graphed tank is: 15 inches wide, by 24 inches tall

She only has/had 4+ of her own red eyes..... general rules of thumb for red eyes, taller is better than wide, 10 gallon is the minimum tank size for one with 5 gallon for each additional frog. And just like humans enjoy more space, bigger per frog is better. I just added a sixth frog to a 55 gallon and decided I should start building a bigger one. But that's because I know I'm getting more frogs in the future.

As far as your 15 gallon hex, that is a great tank for 2 red eyes. At the absolute most is 3 if you keep on your regular cleaning.

One idea since it is hexagonal, maybe just find a small tree like plant that fits in it with a trunk and canopy. Viewable from all sides and very dimensional to use all available space. It's actually one of my future build ideas to build a 4 foot tall hex with a tree in the middle.

Edit: she has 6 red eyes plus bunches extra. I couldn't read your signature on my phone.

It's okay. Thanks for updating for me . Yes, I have 6 red eyes, 5 were rescues.

I would still recommend 10 gallons per frog for any frog that grows to be 2" or more. It is the optimal size. Remember, once you add plants, branches and substrate you'll lose some living space. I have been taught by some of the best breeders and am happy to share the information with you.

Tall tanks of 24" or higher are best for tree frogs.
