    Default Frog housing

    Is it possible for ANY species of frog to live in a 5gal tank?

    I wouldn't, but you can keep 2 frogs in a 10-gallon tank depending on what species you want. A 10-gallon tank offers more room for decorations, better thermoregulation, etc.

    If this is a general question and not looking for a specific frog, it is possible.
    But to thrive you provide more space to allow climbing/exercise, hunting of food, and reduce the stress of captivity.

    If your looking for a frog to fill a tank you have, then I don't have one to suggest.

    i'm only asking this because i have a 5gal tank that have fish in, but i'm trying to get rid of them, so i can use the tank for something else. What about a pacman? since they need more floor space. Or do they get too big?

    Come to think of it, you can actually keep the fish and get 2 or 3 African Dwarf frogs.

    In that case, do what I suggested before-get 2 frogs for a 10 gallon tank instead. Is there a specific kind of frog you're considering?
