now with this 20Gal long tank could i use a tank divider and house two pacmans? The demisions for both sides is 15x13x12 which is 10Gals. I also got my lighting just waiting on everything else to come in the next week.

Yes. You can use real glass or Plexiglass for the divider. Make sure you make it so its not able to be seen through so the frogs cannot see each other and this will also add security for the frogs. Make sure it is all the way flush with the inside walls of the tank as well as the actual lid so there is no possible way either frog could get to the other. If you think they can't scale a tank wall to get to another frog or out of the tank think again. They most certainly can and will. These are very determined frogs when they want to be. I've heard funny stories about Pacman escape artists and horror stories.

I actually just set up a 20 gallon tank to house 2 frogs. I bought: Tile Runners/Holders from Home Depot (they look a lot like the clips that you bind your school reports in, only these are much longer and easily cut), Acrylic sheeting from Home Depot, and Hot Glue. After cutting the acrylic to size (easier said than done), I bordered it with the runners, cut those to size, put it in the tank, and hot glued it in place. Some people use aquarium silicone, but with my tiny apartment, the hot glue was easier. If I need to clean I can slide the acrylic sheeting out of the runners for easier access. Because the acrylic is clear I've had to put contact paper/ aquarium contact paper on it so the frogs can't see each other, but it's worked wonderfully so far!

Good idea, I thought about just getting a piece of glass cut to fit the part and use aquarium sealant. The only reason you dont want the barrier clear is becuase of the thought of thinking the other is food. right?

Exactly, and also, if they see crickets or "food" on the other side of the wall they can get stressed out or upset when they can't get to it. I picked up the acrylic sheeting because it's sturdier and less likely to shatter, and I'm a klutz.

Yep. That is exactly why. It will also reduce stress.
