    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...

    You need large amounts of experience with each individual animal and large amounts of space in order to do any type of mixed species vivarium. Both things that an overwhelming majority of people who attempt a mixed species habitat do not have.
