moosenart · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2011, 04:10 AM

i have the clown tree frogs around before! I was wondering if anybody new a good site to buy 2/3. How similar are they to GTF or RETF or the like.

Then the few basic questions
-what size tank?
-Gradient
-breeding
-general info

i cant find a lot on these guys...

I like the zoomed 18x18x24 for these frogs I have 2 in there atm, looks like plenty of room for 1-2 more. You could also set up a 29 vertical and put 3 in there comfortably. Care is basic to retf found most of my info in search, also a good article in reptiles from Mike@rainforestjunkies is great and where i got mine at. They are sooo cute@4m oow and getting bolder. 12/12 lightcycle is working good eating 1/8 crickets and hydel ff. Im definately interested in 1 or 2 more,waves@Mike

What do you think i could put with them in a 18x18x24 exo terra...I am aware mixing different species can be bad but i have had a success with mixing 3)fire belly toads, 2)gray tree frogs, a red crab, and an american toad (a.k.a M. Toad) all have been place in a 40 breeder and haven't had an issue...and I am curious how they would do in a cage designed for darts as well? They are from the amazon so i figured fine with high humidity and a circulation fan.

I think mixing would probably be fine ive never tried it but it also depends on what you mixing. If you were going to mix i would be careful that they wouldn't eat each other And for your other question if the air is circulating i think it would be fine. Oh ya 18x18x24 would be fine for these guys

I have had one of these for about a year. He doesn't seem to like crickets much. They usually grow up in the tank and eat my broms. FF's disappear, but I'm not sure he eats them or they escape. About every two weeks, I put a BB culture in there and release a bunch. He must be getting enough to eat because he doesn't seem to be underweight and there is plenty of evidence that he is eating. He is in a ten gal vert which seems sufficient. I don't think he ever goes to the bottom, mostly stays in the top part.

I found that it was frustrating not being able to mix species. I have a tank with a fire bellied toad and a tank with a green tree frog. The green tree frog stays at the top, the Toad stayed in the water, so it seemed like they could coexist, but I took the advice of just about every member of dendroboard, and didn't mix them. The only problem with mixing them would be 1) toxins from fire bellied toad, and 2) Fire bellied toad got all the food. anyone have anything else to add?
