    Default dumpy tank capacity

    Hey guys, it's been a while, all my frogs are healthy and well but I have a stock question. I just upgraded my 1 adult dumpy treefrog to an exoterra that's 24"x18"x36". It's a beautiful tank that I set up flood style with a cool waterfall filter, magnatural wall ledges and lots of live and artificial plants and vines to hide and climb on. I want to get the frog some friends now that there's room, but I don't know how many would be comfortable in there or how to introduce them. My frog I got as an adult and he's quite large a good 4 inches. I obviously want more dumpys but the pet store only carries cb babies. If I put a 2 to 3 inch baby would it most likely be eaten even with all the space and them being well fed? If not how many adult dumpies could that tank house? Thanks in advanced.

    Hi! i am not so good with tanks but i know that for one frog, the absolute minimum is a ten gallon. it makes sense that a 20 or so would be good for two adults. please tell me if i am wrong other people looking at this

    5 or 6 could be happy in there. Would love to see pics of the tank. 3 inches could be safe but your frog would definitely make an attempt on the 2 inch ones
