5g Tank

Tadpoles!

They would eventually grow to frogs you know.

Yeah but he has land in his tank right?

Not much. If I were him, I would invest more in to a 10 gallon. It would be a better idea stocking wise. You could then have a frog. I know that poison dart frogs can be kept in a 10 gallon, not sure about handlng them though.

Fire bellied toad would be be nice. They need 10 gallons MINIMUM, no matter how many how plan to keep. I decided I am going to get 2 of them for my 10 gallon I plan on setting up.

Better choice. I am setting up a 10 gallon fire bellied toad tank after I ge thte shells and multies for my tank I have for them now. That will be $50 for that. Then I can start on my toad tank. I plan on spending $70 on them. That is leww than my 16 gallon tank and hood cost! I am like so psyced for the toads.

Filter, yes, heater optional. They donb't NEED a heater, but if it gets below 70F anytime of the year ROOM TEMPATURE, then a heater will be needed.

If you got a 10 gallon, you could have 2-3 toads in it. They like to be with other toads, so nothing under 10 gallons is reccomended.

Is it hard to keep posion dart frogs

Is it hard to keep poison dart frogs

Not so hard provided you feed them fruit flies regularly - meaning culture your own flightless fruit flies most likely.

To the OP, there are lizards small enough to fit in a space of that size (some pygmy geckos and chameleons) but you're going to have a #41#### hard time finding them in the average pet store.

You can keep two chinese fire bellied newts in a 10 gallon, so I'd assume one would be ok in a 5 gallon tank
