I believe that quite a few frog owners become a little devastated when they find out they should only house one type of frog in each tank. Just like some people would love to stick 30 fish in a tiny tank so it looks good, a lot of people would like to have a few types of frogs in a tank because it will look good. But with all the problems that can erupt, and the possibility of ending up with very sick frogs, and all the horror stories that exist, why risk it?

It may just seem like we're some people on the internet saying not to mix frogs, but several people on here know what they are doing. When you have people who have kept frogs for decades, who have studied them for decades, who have worked for professional institutions that house frogs, and who are respected enough to be asked to lecture or to write articles, etc., then their "opinion" shouldn't be so easily dismissed. Kurt may seem a little harsh in his posts, but at the same time, he is pretty smart.

I'm also not trying to offend anyone, though. It just seems to be a pretty big gamble. CaptainMorgantown, I did notice that you have started several threads asking with help diagnosing problems with your frogs. Your last one even included several people telling you to take the frog to the vet ASAP, and there was no update (by the way, how is your frog doing?). Has nothing so far seemed like a strong enough sickness to separate the frogs? In my friend's mixed tank, all the frogs seemed completely fine for several months (perhaps even over a year), and then suddenly one day, one of them had red-leg. A few months later, a frog was dead. If you're waiting for that, when it does happen, it may be too late to separate and nurse back to health.

Because something can be done does not mean it should be done. Sure, you can put a goldfish in a bowl (or let's be less cruel and say a 10 gallon tank), or a goldfish and tropical fish together in a tank, but it is not the best situation for the pets and is not recommended, even if you likely wouldn't notice any problems for quite awhile.
