Does a 12x12x18 tank work for two red eyes

[bshmerlie]

I think you're okay with it but it is kinda small. The frogs are going to be in this the rest of their lives... I think its always best to go with the largest tank you can aford for them. I would defineatly limit it to the two frogs. If you have the oportunity to go to the reptile shows you can pickup tanks pretty inexpensive sometimes. Or checkout craigs list. If you've already got the 12x12x18 use all of it. By that I mean get branches that come out toward the front not just along the back wall. Give them lots of sturdy plants and branches that they can climb on and hide in. Have a water bowl that is big enough for the both of them or preferably two bowls so they each have their own. Clean out the water bowls every morning and refill them.
The smaller the enviroment the more you have to make sure everything is as clean as you can keep it. Use a cricket bowl so they don't escape and die in the tank. I think frogs can get sick due to a stressful enviroment or an unclean environment. Follow the care sheet, feed them properly, give them a clean tank and they will live for years. They need to feel at home in their enclosure. For example, in my enclosure if they wanted to completely hide from me they could just stay in the thickest part of "my forest" and never be seen. They do that when they are new but when they feel "at home" they will spend all their time up front watching you.
