    Another thing to keep in mind, all the frogs that can co exsist should be captive bred to avoid problems such as parasites. Frogs such as super tiger legs , bird cr*p frogs, sharp backed monkey frogs, clowns(adult) can co exsist with red eyes for example as long as they are all captive bred and have went through a month long quarantine.
    Milk frogs do produce some of that toxin that they produce in the wild. That would be another problem. Just my 2 cents. Hope that helps.

    LIke Tony said, I have seen some species cohabiting together in some very large enclosures at hobbyists place. For example, in one of them there was a terrestrial frog living in a very large horizontal and vertical viv with an arboreal frog, from the same geographic region. But you will see here, we don't really recommend it for many different reasons (skin toxins, etc).

    I didn't realize milk frogs have toxicity at all.
    Well if I chose another species, definetly another tank. But for now I still like the red eyes best. They're the cutest and seem best for me.

    Keep in mind I am pretty new to the hobby of keeping frogs, but I always tell people never to mix, especially frogs that grow to different sizes such as Milks and Red Eyes. Milks get up to 4 inches long, and Red Eyes only two, I could see Orchid and her soon-to-be-bought playmate as parts of the menu for a few full grown Milks. I don't know if they have the same tendency as White's to eat anything smaller that moves, but with the examples of how they feed above, I could see it happening as an accident more than anything. Once one of my White's gets something in their mouths, they tear and tear at it until it can be swallowed (paper towels...>>).

    But anyway, I agree with Tony, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't. I don't plan on ever mixing species, though I do plan on getting an albino, regular and (maybe) xanthic red eye for one tank, and they will have no problems together. If they're not the same species, keep them separate, just to be safe.
