    Hi Frogdance.
    A common occurrence in the industry is to have a pet shop send you home with little to no instructions, or improper instructions. Glad you found us. The folks here care about your pet as much as you do and will surely help in anyway to get you on the right track to making a healthy and secure home for your frogs.
    I would go with a minimum of a 10 gallon but bigger is surely better. If you shopping at Petco, watch for the dollar a gallon sale and take a 20 gallon home for 20 bucks.
    The silicone in the aquarium isn't harmful to the frogs so no problem there. Just keep the basics in mind when providing for the frogs. Clean and properly treated water, scheduled maintenance, and the correct temps & humidity.


    Ask questions, check out others photo albums for ideas ,and have fun.

    The living frog seems to be doing much much better. He is more active and swims around. I will keep an eye on him.

    Great to hear. Hopefully the water issue hasn't come back.

    Check on craigslist, I see 10 gallon tanks for free almost daily and the frogs will love you for it. Not sure if you use a water filter but I use the one suggested by Kurt in his WTF care sheet and its excellent.

    It looks like the water is stagnant. Maybe I missed this somehow but do you use an air stone to oxygenate the water or a simple pump/filter to circulate the water? I can't imagine they'd last a year, months, or even a week without it...

    As stated before, 10 gallon tanks are given away for free all day long on Craigslist. One of my other favorite places is goodwill. They have amazing deals on terrariums. 10 gallons should be between 5 and 12 dollars there.
