5.5 gallon and 20extra high frog types?

[Zero138]

OK so i have currently a 5.5 gallon that i dont want to go to waste and would love to frog it... any suggestions? Also I will be getting a 20 extra high 10.5w24h20L if this 5.5 cant house even a single frog. that being said what frogs could i keep in both? i would love 2 frog setups! please let me know what you think. Im really looking into Clown or Red eyes. However My options are open. I was wanting to keep some smaller frogs so i could have multiple to observe and care for ( i know alot of these i wont see doing anything ) and i was wondering what frogs i should look into. Im a first time frogger and these will be added to my collection, i do have reptiles so im not new to exotics. I really want to set up a partial water tank and would love to heavily plant, so im hoping this will help balance out the spacial limits.
These two sizes are all i have to work with due to the area i want to display the tank. only these will fit. Anyway I was told by a local petshop that is the EXPERT on everything that i could keep 3-5 dart frogs in a 5.5 gallon. I no longer think they are the experts on exotics anymore, correct me if im wrong. I would love dart frogs.
So with all that being said I was told by some members on this forum that I MAY be able to keep 1-2 clown frogs in a 5.5 but keep in mind this user was using an educated guess so if they are wrong no negative comments. Either way there is a reptile Expo in Portland Oregon on the 22nd and i really want to pick up my frogs by then, i am fully aware that i will not be able to handle most frogs in the smaller category but please leave the frogs you suggest and if they are handleable. Not that it matters but still i wanna know. if you could toss an average price in there too i would be most grateful.
Thanks again,
Brandon

The only species that I would be comfortable housing long-term in a tank that small is one or two African dwarf frogs. Do you have any interest in them?

[Zero138]

None at all


How about the 20x high?

There is no way three darts can live peacefully in a 5.5. Clown tree frogs will do ok, but a taller tank would be better. I keep bumblebee toads in a 5.5 and they dissappear into it.

Are you wanting something more exotic? (I ask because you mention dart frogs). If not, green tree frogs would do very well in the 20. I have 2 in a 10 gallon, and I can see clearly that they'd prefer a taller tank, so I'm gonna fix up my old cracked 29 galllon, might make it vertical.

A single clown would probably work although it would be better with a taller tank. They do require small crickets though.

Thanks so much everyone I've decided to put one bumblebee toad pair in my tank! Thanks everyone!

Here is the post

a Internet miricle, everything that's said is coinveinantly avaiible fir further referance. Now can we all stop repeating ourselves

[bshmerlie]

Read it again I don't see this as anything different than what I have been saying. If the person is going to put a frog in a 5 gallon tank the better choice would be the clown over the red eye. And as I said a TALLER tank would be better. Pulling this post up twice only makes you look liken ***.

[Leefrogs]

the girls has taller Eco terra this person never specified dem, -and u didn't go off on this person but u did the other. U just copy whosever post u follow. It's it opionon what u look like

[Zero138]

Not sure what everyone is arguing about but I went ahead and got pacific chours frogs and have a 20g tank! Thanks for all the help though.

[Leefrogs]

oh sorry, someone asking same question u had and I used this thread as a refrence as to what can go in thief 7.8 gal since kurt has made suggestions. Sorry if this made u feel bad, and I see how confusing it would be to get alert. Again SORRY zero138.
