    After some research, I think salamanders are not an option, interesting as they are. So far it's a toss between mantellas and rubber frogs. I will have to do some more reading on both to decide. Thanks for the advice!

    And thanks to Johnny (SludgeMunkey) for this forum suggestion. Already been very helpful!

    Tiger Salamanders make good terrestrial display animals if they are tame. Most newt/salamander species that are good display animals are aquatic.

    Well, rubber frogs are generally cheaper, so you can get a decent size population with putting yourself in the poor house.

    How many could I comfortably house in a 55 gallon?

    Wow, that many?? That would be kind of neat, actually. I am really interested in White's tree frogs as well. I know they like taller habitats taller rather than wider, but could the 55 gallon work for them?

    It could, providing they have good ventalation. I am guessing you would have room for 4 - 5, no problem.

    Thanks Kurt. Appreciate the advice. It's now a toss up between the White's and the Rubber frogs. Decisions decisions.
