Hi all, I just purchased 8 large Red Eyed Tree Frogs, they look like adults and are probably wild caught, but my other 6 CB Red Eyed are so small I wanted to start with these large ones and see how it goes. Don't worry, these will always be in a separate tank from my CBs.

Now my question is, these guys are 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" so I'm betting they are adults, I picked them myself and picked the nicest and healthyest frogs out of about 120, but I think by doing so I picked mostly females. I will be going back to the importer's next week and will pick up 4 more and try to get all males, now how obvious should the nuptial pads be on these frogs? Does anybody have pictures of male RETF nuptial pads, and is there a difference in the throat on RETF?

Also, if I get a ratio of maybe 5 males to 7 females will that be good enough? I do know the best ratio is one more male then the number of females so there's male competition, but I don't have the room in the tank for 8 males and 7 females.
