Hi Im new to the site and happy to of found it So, I was just curious...can any other tree frogs live happily with two white's tree frogs in a 35 gallon hex tank? It's planted and has a water source. Thanks everyone

Hi FrogLover
You probably won't receive any suggestions as to what will be compatable since all frogs have their own specific toxins which is at skin level. These toxins would move from frog to frog through the water they soak in and the substrate and accents they walk on.

The toxins would slowly deterioate your frogs health.


On a side note, since Whites are aggressive eaters, anything small than their mouth is potential food.

From what I understand, I am not an expert, you are not suppose to mix different breeds of frog. Whites with whites, chubby's with chubby's and so on. But welcome, you are sure to get lots of great advice. I know I have.

I would stick with other White's, as Don said any smaller species are likely to end up being a meal. There are several morphs available if you want a little variety (Australian blue, Indonesian green, and blue-eyed). I have also heard/read many times over the years that they cohabitate well with white lipped tree frogs (Litoria infraenata), but I would suggest talking about it with some more experienced keepers since I don't work with either species.

I'd say at least 100 if you pack them down right.

I have 4 grays in my 35 gallon hex tank. I wouldn't put more than that in there, they seem to have JUST enough space for them. Big, hungry tree frogs need their space!

So I should probably just stick with 2 White's right?

When I was researching this same question, I was told the general rule for Whites is 20 gallons for the first adult and then add 10 more gallons for each additional frog, so your habitat should be just right. I have 6 juveniles now but they are quickly getting bigger and will soon be large enough to go into their 150 gallon vivarium. According to this rule, they only need 70 gallons. As with your frogs, I would like to add some more variety, so I am thinking about gettting 2 of the Australian - Blue morphs to add (Mine are the Indonesian - Greens morphs). A couple stores had told me this was a definite "No, No", but I recently asked the experts on this forum and they said its okay if you are never going to breed them. As your habitat is a bit larger than 30 gallons, you might be able to add a Blue, but ask the experts here first!
