    Default Asian Floating frogs?

    I really wouldn't get anything smaller than 12x12x12.

    Around 3 frogs would be comfortable in a ten gallon, Keep the water clean, and not too deep, floating plants such as amazon frogbit and duckweed work well to get nitrates out of the water, Always provide a few solid areas for the frogs to rest on (Logs and rocks) Food items can be flightless fruit flies, tiny earthworms and or hatchling crickets, care is pretty much like FBT. Good luck with your new frog

    I am leaning towards the 12x12 I need to look at one in store and see howw much whater they hold. The dimensions of a terrarium are easier to work with than tanks. I just wish they weren't so expensive.

    sometimes pet stores will have old terrariums that they do not use anymore in the back, i sometimes buy old tanks from the pet store for a fair price.

    Well I also have one other option I didnt think of. I have a 20 long peaceful community tank, Just platies, and corydoras, And a male betta but he is peaceful. And ramshorn snails ( but those are bred in there as feeders) Water is about 9-10 inches deep and I have a small turtle dock I could put in there as land. I have marimo in there, myrio, and Anubias. As well as silk plants that break the waters surface. Would this be an option?

    Generally frogs are best kept to a species only terrarium. Some diseases and parasites can be transmitted from fish to frog, The fish may react differently to the frogs, Some people do put frogs and fish together but mixing species is usually discouraged, Caudata Culture Articles - Species Mixing Disasters

    yes I know ... but thats not what I am asking I am basically asking if the water depth would be ok. these fish are established, from breeders not pet stores and have been in my home a very long time. yes they could be carrying something but I am not overly worried, My Betta was living with two ADF ( who will most likely also be moved to this tank) and everything was fine. My only concern is the frogs drowning.
