So I will start off with what I have:
I have a ten gallon tank with a screen lid and pothos plant. I have bowls for water. I also have crickets. I buy them every week or so for my other reptiles. I have some vines and a set of hanging vines from the pet store. I am capable of getting paper towel for bedding. I also have a hand mister for moisture.

So I have a few questions and I would like for you to freely tell me if I am wrong with information but be nice.

1) Is a ten gallon good for two frogs?
2) What other plants/stuff can I use?
3) Is a potho okay for a frog?
4) How can I tell sex of each frog?
5) Can you give me ideas on making the home better?
6) Is a lamp needed? (I have a heat lamp)
7) Will the frogs breed without a breeding chamber?
8) Can I hold them?
9) What do I need to do to raise the eggs?

Thanks for taking your time to help me! I am still researching everyday and can't wait.
1) It would probably be ok but a bit more vertical space might be better. A twenty gallon vert would be good.
2) pretty much anything that looks tropical, isn't prickly, and can handle high humidity.
3) Yes
4) Adult males are a bit smaller and less plump looking than females.
5)....
6) No, not generally speaking, but it all depends on the temps in your house.
7) Maybe, but probably not.
8) You could, but most frogs are more of a look but don't touch pet. If you want a more handleable amphibian try something like a cane or rococo toad. They deal with handling quite well after they get used to you.
9) All that info is easily available on line but perhaps it's best to cross that bridge when you come to it.
