Re: Tree Frog Compatibility

Two per 20 gallon tank has been all that I had planned on. I was curious though as several care sheet that I have read online mentioned up to 4 can be housed in a 20 gallon tank. I thought that might be a little tight, unless the three extras are female.

Of course there is a 55 gal aquarium tank that's empty.......hmmmm! Let's see if I move the bed over to the other wall and knock a hole into the kids room and move them to the basement....Ummm.....I'll get back to you all on that last part.

Re: Tree Frog Compatibility

I think the general rule is 10 gallons for one frog, plus 5 gallons for each additional frog. So that would make it possible to house 3 in a 20 gallon tank. Still, it's always better to have more room if possible, so keeping only two in a 20 g tank would probably the best way to go.

Of course, a 55 g tank, that can house more than just two frogs.

depends on the breed of frog. That's fine for small frogs like green tree frogs or firebelly toads. Anything bigger you need to add 10 per frog.

Re: Tree Frog Compatibility

Ah. That makes sense. I should have double checked before making that comment.
