You should never buy wild caught captives when captive-bred specimens are available. For one, doing so just encourages collection of specimens whose species are already in decline and possible introduction or further facilitation of the chytrid fungus into new and affected areas, respectively. On that note, if purchasing wild caught specimens there is a good chance they might already be infected, considering how pervasive the fungus is.
I have five RETF, all captive bred, and I have mine in a 75 gallon 36"Lx24"Hx18"W viv and considering how large the females can be and how active these frogs are, this is the smallest size I would use for five.
Ten gallons per frog is a good rule to go by and when doing so, dont include the number of gallons taken up by your substrate.
