    Default Prefered toad tanks?

    Moving my toad out of her exo terra 12x12, she went through some weird growth spurt and is a little too big gor a 12x12 now. I was goong to move the toad into a regular 10 gallon aquarium, but are there better aquariums? Or do all of you guys just use the 'standard' aquariums? (By standard aquariums I mean tgose glass ones with the black borders)

    Standard aquariums; myself get 20L at Petco's dollar a gallon sale. They can fit most adult toads with room to spare. You can use the ten as an in between; if a male might be fine in there for a long time .

    20L all the way, my 3"ish male is in a 20 standard right now and I feel he could use more floor space. Got a 20L recently haven't gotten around to cleaning it and setting it up yet.
    2.0 Bombina orientalis
    1.0 Bufo americanus
    0.1.1 Ceratophrys cranwelli
    0.1 Xenopus laevis

    I use a terrarium designed by a Danish team here called "Tropeakvarier" (tropic aquariums)
    which design aquariums and terrariums. I bought a used 50L terrarium of their design with
    glass walls, black protective bottom and a black framed lid where the film top is fine mesh.
    Keep my two Bufo bufos there.

    Otherwise I have a 50L standard aquarium from a starter kit where I keep my two Duttaphrynus
    melanostictus.

    I don't want any slide side glas terrariums, cause of drafts. I want them long
    so the guys have some ground to walk on (already I feel 50L is too small as they roam alot). And
    I love the topmesh so they have fresh air always
