Can you keep an adult american bullfrog with a adult tiger salamander?

Never mix amphibians together, unless you truly don't care about your animals well being.

You must be trolling or extremely ignorant.

No, and the tank you described is MUCH too small for the bullfrog. These guys need at the very least 100 gallons, or around that. They need massive amounts of filtration, and Tiger salamanders don't do very well with enclosures with large amounts of water, they die off very quickly for some odd reason. Also, I strongly suggest that you separate your other animals, unless you want your animals to be the next accounts on this: http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/M...isasters.shtml

It's not ignorant to mix species. This case yes but in some cases that I have brought up before, if you know what your doin, you have the time and the money for a big enclosure and vet visits your half way ready. Next is taking months to years studying and keeping each animal and if they live in the same place like Leopard Frogs and American Toads. They are able to handle things similar but care wise, a leopard frog likes water to dive in and a toad burrows. That works with a big tank and knowing the animals behavior when stressed or starved or whatever. It can be done and the animals can live a full life. Not this example of course but it's not always an abomination. I spent years planning what I had. I spent 9 months studying the animals finding what I could on them kept together. I talked to biologists and experts on it before I executed. I didn't care how much it costs for a vet visit, I got above and beyond for the animals so they had an enclosure big enough for territory and niches for both. I'm not sticking up for him at all, I do want you to realize there are some people who love and will go above requirements to make an educated risk work out.

It's just ignorant to think a 50 gallon glass tank can offer the space for two species to coexist. If you are an expert and have space for a massive (probably custom) tank like the ones at the zoos, that is planted well, then I can't really argue with that.

lol, oh dear

And even then, I'm not entirely against it. You need a massive tank (150 gallons or more) and you need two species that occupy different Niches, a good example are small North American tree frogs (Squirrel tree-frog, Pine-woods, so on) and the North American cricket frogs, they will not typically go near each other, and if/when they do, they won't eat each-other. But it takes a lot of work, and it is better to not mix species ever

And plus, there are no guaranties that they won't stress each other to death either...
