    Well guppies are a small type of fish that only grow up to about 1 inch
    They breed very easy and are very cheap

    As for finding them go to the nearest petstore and ask for guppies
    They should have them, every petstore i have gone to has had guppies

    If you have a water section you should always have a rock or stick allowing access out of the water
    Also you should NEVER have a section where the treefrog can get stuck underwater and drown

    As long as you have access out of the water the tree frogs should be fine

    It would be fine if your treefrog ate a guppy

    The guppy does look similar to those clowntail fish but do not have such large tails and fins
    Kinda like a simpler version

    It doesnt matter the size of tank a tree frog can still drown if in water over its head and no way to easily climb out they can drown in lil dishes if to deep.

    If it is big enough to get the frog in its mouth its not a good choice. You also have to make sure they need the same temperature and humidity levels as the frogs. and you will need to research if they release toxins harmful to other species... I know Greys do.

    Well i meant that the size of the tank to see if you could even allow for a water section
    And i would suggest that the water section only be about 3-4 inches deep
    Although im not sure since grays are so small

    Cool Re: Community tank

    Thanks. I found some guppies online at petco i will think about purchasing. Lilypad i am currently trying to buy a new tank around 55 gallons. I was wondering if any one new if a salamander, green anole, newt, or a bearded dragon would work with the frogs and guppies.

    No, gray tree frogs have their own toxins that would slowly stress and kill another species over time. Plus, they all live in a different type of environment (temp, humidity, space) that is pretty much impossible to mimic in one tank. Some people might disagree with this, but if you do enough research, you'll see that it isn't healthy on any them and their quality of life suffers to make a tank "look cool"

    55 gallons would be big enough to make a decent pond, just remember not to make it too deep and risk your tree frogs.
