    Default What frog should I get ?

    I am building a vivarium with a water feature,the tank is 29 gallons. I don't know whether to get like a red eyed tree frog,a milk frog,or maybe something else. Any help would be appreciated, and I also wanted to know if anyone has ever seen blue sides leaf frogs for sale?

    A pair of Grays should work nicely in a 29. Awesome little frogs.

    Id go for a pair of clowns. Ya never see anyone with them. A giraffe and a starburst would be awsome.

    I'm not familiar with those species so I'd look each up to see if they'd fit in a 29 gallon. Keep in mind milk frogs sound like donkeys when they call.

    29 is just a bit too small for adult Whites... come to think of it Milkys get to be about the same size, so same thing. General rule of thumb is 20 gallons for first adult and add 10 gallons for each additional adult, so you'd be shy a gallon. Might not make much difference, but then again if you wind up with two big females it could.

    I just got a group of clowns. They're awesome little frogs, but almost always WC, and a challenge to get acclimated. Also tiny, very lively, and escape artists.

    Bird Poop frogs and Mossys are awesome too, but again hard to find. Always best to get frogs that are CB (Captive Bred) and not WC (Wild Caught), even then always have new frogs fecal tested, as domestically reared frogs can still have parasite problems.

    I've always been a fan of Indonesian toads but I don't know their care requirements.

    What about a Bombina oreintalis? The fire-bellied toad?

    I've never seen a bird poop frog for sale around here, but mossys are everywhere! Even in big chain pet stores, they sell the mossys.
