FAQs about Frog Tanks and Aquariums
Yes, you can also make terrariums for frogs out of empty aquariums. These habitats are very versatile and can create a great habitat for various reptiles and amphibians. However, you’ll likely want to use a terrarium screen with your aquarium instead of a standard hood to help increase airflow. Also, clean and sterilize the aquarium before using it as a tank for frogs.
A 5-gallon tank may be too small for more than one or two of your African dwarf frogs. They may be smaller than average, but they still need room to explore. Being overcrowded can make them unhappy and competitive with the other frogs in the habitat.
TThis greatly on the species of frog and their average size. Many pet parents follow a 10 gallons per frog rule, but 5 gallons per frog may be appropriate for smaller species. Your pet needs as much room in their frog tank as possible.
Here are some important items you may want to find and set up before bringing home African dwarf frogs.
- An aquarium that accommodates one frog for every 5 gallons
- Large freshwater substrate
- Artificial or live plants
- Full-spectrum T5 lighting
- An airstone or air pump
- A thermometer
- Hideaway décor
- A heater
- A hydrometer
- A filter

Hi. I was wondering, what species of frog is roughly 2 inches in length, light green and has large feet and how much do i have to feed it?
I am about to get a crested gecko and have done lots of research, but am nervous I'll kill my crestie. You see, lots of people have different opinions about additional lighting. 1 breeder said a heat lamp killed many of his crested geckos, while another breeder said it killed her geckos when they DIDNT have a heat lamp. Should I get a heat lamp? (My tank is a 12 by 12 by 18, of that helps at all) Also, should that size tank be good for 1 crested gecko for his entire life?
i have a adult and baby bearded dragon i. seperate tanks one tank is probably like a 40g and the other one is pretty big not sure of gallon size. what uvb light is best for them. and could it wait a couple weeks until i get paid or is it crucial today
My frog is not eating since I bought it 2 days ago, it stays sticked to the tank's glass most of the time, it's skin color is dark green. I gave it a cricket and a worm.
SO i am thinking about getting a leopard gecko, but i am not spending a ridiculous amount of money on a cage so i am using a plastic laundrey hamper that seems about maybe 10 gallons and i am setting up little hiddy spots and stuff but i dont know wha tbeedding i should use and how much light they need please hep :)
when i was little my grandfather had a koi "patio pond" in a metal stock trough. I was wondering if it would be reasonable to do the same in a rubber one?what considerations would you consider?
Hi, my hatchling red foot tortoise has a problem with keeping his eyes open for very long, he hasn't been eating as much as usual and when he closes his eyes I have to soak him in water to get him to open them back up. When his eyes close it almost looks like they are crusty. I have a cypress mulch and jungle mix substrate in his cage which is about 4 inches at the highest and 1 inch in his basking are but it's kept well watered. Thank You!
I have 2 Chinese golden thread turtles. Slightly bigger than hatching size. I don't know the max height of water to add. Can you help me
Hello, can you help me identify this plant please, the people at the store didn't know the species. Also is my aquarium good
I have a fancy bearded dragon that is almost one now. When I first purchased him we got a 10 gal tank and he seems to be getting bigger. Do you think if I purchase a 40 gal tank he’ll be set for a year or two? Thank you.
Hey I have a small floor stand that is 25 1/2 inches in Length and 1 ft in width what is the maximum size tank I should put on it?
When I bought my white tree frog from Petsmart it had what looks like an old scar on his leg (see attached picture). So far he has been acting as normal as my other white tree frog, other than being a little shy and better at hiding. I've had him for over a week now, should I warrant concern? (And what is something I can do if there is.)
