mixing frogs

[Connor0729]

i have recently found myself starting to get obsessed with tropical frogs, and i have looked around on the web and found some interesting things. anyways, i was wondering if it would be alright to mix a red eye tree frog, a clown tree frog, and a ground-dwelling frog like a black red walking frog or a tomatoe frog in a 20 gallon high. thanks in advance.

Frog mixing is more frown upon than most of the other herps. Why? They tend to eat each others, or if they are too closely related - hybridize. Even if they are in different layers, usually there is one frog that will utilize the whole enclosure and stress out the others, which in turn can force the frog population to start producing toxins -- even if they are known not to be venomous or poisonous.

I'm pretty sure tomato frogs are highly poisonus. A poisonus frog confined to a tank with other non-poisonus frogs will usually kill them. Probably not a good idea to mix frogs in general.

hey the clown tree frogs are awesome my friend had them, also look up milky cave dwelling

ok, no tomato frog. could i still mix the clown and the red eye tree frog? i really like them both, and to tell you the truth, i think that a hybrid between them would be awesome.

i'm not sure that a 20g will be enough for all those frogs.

I know that red-eyed tree frogs like to live in groups and that the more you have the calmer they are.

i could do a 35. would this work for like 3 red eyes and 2 clowns? if not i will probably just do a few clowns, because i love their patterning

oh, please answer my other question aswell, but what kinds of frogs can live with clowns other than red eyes? thanks for all of your help so far.

I'm not gonna lie to you. I really don't know anything about Clown Frogs. But a 35 gallon would probably be fine for a trio of red-eyes.
