How many leucomelas can be housed in a 29 gal tank? Would a pair or trio be better?
I haven't research this yet but would like to hear more. I assume you can't wave your finger infront of it's face and say "bad frog"Females can eat each other's eggs, but there are a few things you can do to deter this. Bryan
I don't have the tank set up yet. I was just wondering what other people's experiences were. I think I might just get a pair and let them live in the tank. What is considered a "territory area"? a place where a male calls or a frog fends off other frogs?How is the tank planted?
What sight barriers are there?
How many territory areas are in the tank?
Are there areas to hide as well as open areas to search for food?
These questions all determine the number of frogs that can cohabitate the enclosure.
If 3 males all have there own preferred territory, and aren't stressed from competition, the answer could be 4. May only be 2.
You can try, but I'm not sure how effective it will beI haven't research this yet but would like to hear more. I assume you can't wave your finger infront of it's face and say "bad frog"
With leucs, in my experience, they are a relatively peaceful community frog, so territoriality is not as big an issue as some other frogs. Territories could mean a few things, including calling spots like you said, but again I find my leucs don't have set territories- they call all over, forage for food all over, hide/ are active all over without any set territory lines. I think if you just give them sufficient areas for each to have its own niche, so good hiding spots, foraging areas, calling/laying sites, etc. for each frog, you should definitely be fine.I don't have the tank set up yet.

Any chance you could post a pic/link to this tank.and now keep a group of 4 in a tank that is around 23 gallons.
Sure, it is a 40 gallon long split, with the leucs having a slightly bigger side than the other part since there would be four leucs and less frogs on the other side. I'm sorry these pictures are so poor, they don't show the depth well at all because I don't have a good enough flash or something I guess, and the glass is foggy.Any chance you could post a pic/link to this tank.
