What type of frog for a 5.5 gallon?

[Zero138]

I'm currently using a 5.5 gallon tank for my crested gecko and am going to be moving home into his 18/18/24 exo terra in a few months when he's bigger an I'm going to have this tank left over. What type of frog would survive ots whole life in a tank this small? Or better yet I'm looking into getting the nano exo terra 8.5/8.5/12 would a frog fair better in that or the 5.5 and either way what would I be looking into? I really want to do a natural setup in there as a display piece so handling isn't a priority, meaning it's ok if they are just looked frogs. Any suggestions? I really wanna get the nano but idk what would be better? Thanks guys I really wanna get into frogs! The reason I'm not getting a bigger tank is because the space I wanna place the tank is only 9inches wide it's in a cutout that divides my dining room and living room like an indoor window, if that makes sence and the tank looks awesome there! Once I get into frogs more I'd probally setup a larger tank but I want this to be permanent for these frogs I choose as a display piece. My house gets down to 67 at night and up to 72 during the day. So thoses are the natural temps I wanna stay around although I have no problem buying lighting.
Thanks again!

I would say a small dart frog species, like Ranitomeya imitator, or a small hylid like Pseudacris crucifer. Pseudacris crucifer (Spring Peeper) is native to North America and would be right at home in the temperature range you described without any other heating.

How would a single red eye tree frog do?
Also what types of frogs could I get for this size that I can have multiple frogs? Prolly not any huh? How would the pacific tree frogs do? I could catch one outside I live in Oregon! Or any other type of frogs I could buy I'm going to an expo on the 22nd what should I look for?
Thanks again!!!

That's too small for a Red-eye. I would say with the given dimensions of the tank (18/18/24), You would be able to keep 2 Pseudacris crucifer or a similar small treefrog. I personnaly think that a Pacific chorus (tree) frog would do well in these conditions. I would say a good rule of thumb would be anything under 2 inches.
