anything you want that a pretty big tank. Its in inches or cm being your in England. Keep a group in that tank it perfect for depth, height. Water feature would be nice if you can drill holes for the outlets. Post pics it would be better. Good Luck

Hi philbaines,

A tank that high would be great for a breeding group from thumbnail species, like those little guys from the imitator group. They would def make use of the 30" height. A group of 4-6 frogs would fare ok. I would just keep an eye on them for any signs of aggression.

Ok, that's a significant difference. That equates to about a 12" cube. In a tank that size, I would not recommend you put more than a pair of thumbs, or a few young frogs (temporarily). That space would be too small for more than one of any of the larger more terrestrial frogs. Maybe, and I stress maybe, you can get away with a pair of leucs or auratus if you keep the floor space open, with plenty of leaf litter.

Phil, a good rule of thumb for how much space you should try to provide for your frogs, would be to try and give your frogs at least 5-10 gallons of space for each frog. Keeping in mind, the more space, the better.

Hope that helps.

i was thinking off a pair off thumbnails in there with plenty to climb about on!

I had a feeling cm but yeah a pair would be fine I know people that keep a group in a 10gallon and they breed all the time, but a pair definitely would be good. Good luck
