Default Too small for frogs?

I have this 10 Vert in construction right now. So far, I am aiming at a false bottom 3 inches tall for a ponds sake. However, this cuts back on floor space drastically.

My question is, when looking at the pictures, does this viv look like it would be too small for a pair of imatators or bastis? I've run into people saying that it is too small, others think it is fine. I was just curious as to what people on db think.

Thanks for any and all responses.

it should be fine. we have a pair of imis in a 10vert and the substrate is about 3-4inches thick. they have plenty of room. good luck.

Cheers Stacey.

I might keep it as it, otherwise I'll lower the pvc an inch or so and increase the floor space.

I need to see it done to give my opinion. Its hard to tell just how much space is in there.

I think it should be ok. Looks like there is a lot of climbing space in there. I would go for it...........sara

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

I just cut the pvc down to ~ 2 inches, and I'm adding a little more ground space on. Otherwise, it's staying pretty much how it is.

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Cheers.

I think it is a bit small while if the egg crate is raised up 3inches plus 2 inches more of soil and a ton of cork and wood tha tank is losing a lot of space.

What do others think.

I think it will be fine for a pair of Imis - but it would be a little small for a pair of Bastis IMO.
