    I have never had as much success with dwarf frogs as when they had their own setups to themselves. I have tried various tank mates in the past including bettas. Some were decent, some bad. Having done all of that and gotten it out of my system though, I am adamant that a species only setup is the way to go. You can completely cater to the frogs that way without even the slightest detraction from their needs and comfort. Water quality, food selection, feeding, filtration, temperature, breeding.....all better in a species only setup.
    As far as stocking goes; I have seen "requirements" posted online for up to 5 gallons per frog. Personally I think that is ridiculous. I have always went with 1 - 1.5 gallons per frog in a species only setup and had great success.

    Hello

    I would keep 4 frogs in a 5 gallons, species only tank is always better for frogs. I have 7 in a 10 gallons, living with a cory, with a lot of live plants and will upgrade for a 15 gallons soon, I have too many plants, they need more flippers room. If I were you, I would wait for my tank to cycle before adding more frogs(keep up with water change) and as Jen mentionned quarantine is important (I had two in a Kritter Keeper(1.5 gallons) for 3 months with a filter and heater) hope this help!
