    Thanks for correcting me Grif! I din'd know that and this also means I can keep my adult males in the curvers I've bought! Great to hear!

    Yes they can live in there. Unless there isn't enough room for a good water dish they are quite happy in smaller enclosures.

    There absolutely is. They took me a while to hunt down, but I have found curvers that are exactly 12x12x14! Currently I only have one in use for my cornuta, but I have some more in storage. And to think I got them for 2$ each.

    This is true. I think the 18x18x12 is a little overkill unless you have a large female. For a male it is way more than enough. My ornate is in one 18x18x12 and he only uses 45% of the whole thing hahaha, buddy boy does not move for over a week sometimes. I'm thinking of transfering to my 10g soon and use the 18x18x12 for my growing pyxie.

    My advice would be don't, because there is a chance one frog could harbor a pathogen and get all others sick. If that is not a consideration or plan to breed them, then it depends on the species. C. cranwelli and other small species, could fit 4 males or 3 females. C. ornata and C. aurita grow bigger so maybe 3 males or 2 females. Good luck and do divide the tank as Lija recommended in post no. 3 !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
