PCF Mating Question

[Medgrik]

So i have 2 female PCF frogs in a 12x12x18 tank and my girlfriend got a male finally.. my question is if i put the male in with the females will they automatically mate? I don't really want them to but i do want a male frog.

Also is a 12x12x18 tank big enough for 3 PCF frogs?... i am about to buy some plants and make it into a nice viv with a little pond and water fall and lots of places to hid.

I'm no expert since I've only had my PCF's for about 8 months, but I've got three males in with what I'm pretty sure are four females and so far we haven't had any breeding going on. From what I've read, you need to have a decent sized water feature for them to breed. I only keep a soaking dish for them that has about two inches of water, so I don't know if that's what discourages them, but I've been lucky so far.

As far as tank size goes, I had my frogs in a 12x12x30 and just moved up to a 10x16x36 (it's an oddball tank size, I think), but I have 7 frogs in there. So, your tank might be a little cozy, but as long as they have lots of good hiding spots, I bet they will be pretty comfy.

Alright thank you!! The male my girlfriend got was an adult and the other 2 are pretty much babies.. i think they should be alright together. I plan on buying an 18x18x24 tank so i can make a really nice viv for them.
