new to the hobby, would like suggestions(mixing, spacial concerns)

Phyace235 · 07-11-2010, 06:20 PM

I'm in the process of building myself a terrarium, 24Lx18Wx36H....measures out to be a 67 gallon or something. The tank itself is almost completed and was wondering if the capacity of the tank could support 2 or 3 different species. Taking into consideration the height of the tank and species preferences, I know that some like to stay closer to the ground while others like to dwell higher. I am starting with a single morph but would like this for future reference

Any input would help, thank you

Mixing is never a good idea. Most of the mixed tanks you find are those massive ones in Europe. I have a 125g and still wouldn't recommend mixing as it doesn't give enough space for individual species of frogs. Besides the issue of aggression, you could also have some frogs that will outcompete others for food, not to mention cross-breeding. You should try to get a good group frog such as Auratus, Leucomela, or Terribilis.
