    I vote for the Milk's and would go no smaller than a 40 gallon vertical.

    Trachycephalus resinifictrix - Milk Amazon frogs grows 3 to 3.5 in. SVL. Phyllomedusa sauvagii - Waxy Monkey frogs grows 2 to 3 in. SVL. Both species are arboreal so taller enclosures are required and the 40 gal. size recommended by Gail sounds about right. Myself would recommend a 24x18x24 in. ExoTerra as a minimum for either of your choices; and I'm certain a 36 in. tall enclosure would not go wasted by either species.

    How does anyone measure the happiness level of a large tree frog in a tiny 10G enclosure ?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Kinda like on youtube showing grey tree frog set up Frog Care : How To Care For a Gray Tree Frog - YouTube

    I have 3 WTF's in the exo terra 36 x 36 x 18 and they use every inch of space in there. If I could have gone bigger I would have. Just take into consideration that these creatures have an unlimited supply of space when in their natural habitat. Sure frogs can live in smaller spaces, but are they thriving.

    Lol same dilemma i'm facing too, love both and i will probably get both lol

    However.... Sauvagii are not available for more then a year in Canada, anywhere so im thinking OP is talking about bicolors. If that so, you better get milks, it will be easier to care in Ontario. You wont need additional heating, only humidity, but you have tons of that goodness in where you live. Also if you get milks that recently are of the water from one awesome breeder in manitoba, they will be healthy, cb and easy to care. Tank size you will need for 3 is considerably smaller then you need for one bicolor.

    As for me i think i get waxies ( bicolors), they are for advanced keeper, and need huge enclosures. Im not sure of what i'm gotta do, but i think i will go with 42"x18"x76" or similar for 2-3. Or may be even bigger. These are 4-5" monsters with about 10" leg span when climbing.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
