I have two full grown Albino clawed frogs in a 20g tank with tetras and barbs and one of them has been eating a tank mate every now and then and wondering if I can get a 10g tank and put them both in there with no tank mates

Male or female?
Male probably but females get huge.
Best kept in the 20 or ideally more.
I remember reading the rule was 1 frog per 10 gallons.

Pics?
I would personally leave them in the 20, better for the frogs, maybe try moving some tetras to the 10.

The second one is a male. Shouldn’t get bigger than that. I’m thinking the first is male because of size but can’t say for sure without a better angle pic.
Can you get a pic of the first so you can see between the legs, like this:

Yeah I guess...
But it’s the only way to tell clawed frogs with 100% certainty.

I had a pair of dwarf clawed African but didn't know it until I heard a weird sound in the bedroom where the aquarium was. I asked my wife did you hear that upon inspection noticed the male jumping up and down on the substrate and noticed sacs on it's front legs and making this bèeeeeeep sound lol.

I always read that aquatic frogs croaked but never heard it. That’s cool!
