How many D. leucomelas can I keep in a 20-gallon tank? Would I have to sex them to make sure they don't fight, or is that not an issue with D. leucomelas?

3 or 4 if you have no unusable space like a pond. You should have at least 5 gallons of usable space per frog. they are terrestrial so a lot of ground space is needed. Sex is not an issue with D.leucomelas as they get along fine in groups. They are one of my favorite frogs, strikingly beautiful.
Could I use a 20-gallon long, or would a 20-gallon high be more suitable for D. leucomelas?

Both would work but leucomelas like to climb so I would use the 20 high and "landscape" so that there is plenty to climb on.

Mine spend about 95% of the time on the ground, the rest of the time they spend up on logs and things. I guess it depends on how the frog decides to negotiate his surroundings whether he climbs or not. Mine don't climb even though they have vines and tall plants to climb on but that doesn't mean they won't in someone elses enclosure.
