    Thank you for the welcome! I do plan on qt'ing them when they arrive. They will be coming from Nasco, so should be in good shape but just to be safe. I will most likely order frogs that are 5-6.25 cm (~2-2.75")nose to vent length. Hopefully they will be on the upper end of that size range. These should be ok size for my present ones? I've got some frozen krill that I will try instead of the fd gammarus. I've fed the gammarus only a few times.

    I would think the 30b would have the square footage for 5 frogs, but volume wise you would be pushing it. I have the same footprint, but in a 65 gallon with 4F/2M and I think I could easily and comfortably add a couple more. I'd say if that's what you have try it out and if it seems like you are doing too much maintenance or it is crowded you have an excuse to upgrade.
    As already mentioned avoid freeze dried food at all cost.

    I'll try the 30 b for now. If it's too much, I will pick up a 40 b when PetCo does the next $1/gal sale. I've discontinued the fd food. Fed earthworms last night- those were a big hit.
    A question regarding feeding schedule. With the size of my current frogs, would they be considered sub-adult? I have been feeding them every other day. Should this be more or less often?

    Hi,

    your frogs look very healthy. Regarding their bellies, I would only feed them every third day from now on or reduce the amounts/feeding time They aren´t obese yet, but they shouldn´t fatten up more than this.
    Amphibians kept:
    9.10.3 Hymenochirus boettgeri
    2.4.0 Xenopus laevis
    0.1.0 Hypselotriton orientalis

    4.1.0 Pipa parva
    2.1.2 Bombina orientalis

    2.2.0 Bombina orientalis
