If you want something that moves alot apart from feeding time then i'd get white's. Pacmans dont really do anything unless there's food around, however they are hilariously grouchy, they growl and bark at you if you torment them. Not saying i have, just seen videos on youtube!

get a pacman, mine is never aggressive, they only do if they are teased, pacmans do well in a 10 gallon too, and you dont need to spend a fortune on decor etc, all you need it a tank, a substrate (mud) and a water dish, and the frog ofcourse, and they are fat and awesome!

I agree - my Cranwell's, Marlon Brando, is a fantastic pet. He's quite active at night sometimes, too. In addition to the above, I'd recommend the following:

> Heat mat
> Thin polystyrene to place over the heat mat (keeps the heat travelling the right way)
> Thermometer
> Hygrometer
> Moonlight bulb - not necessary by any means, but mine loves his
> When buying substrate, it's worth getting a multi pack, as you'll be changing it on a weekly basis (unless your frog is buried, then it's best to leave well alone until it surfaces)

Have you actually bought the tank yet? If not, it may be worth considering a simple RUB with air holes drilled/soldered - inexpensive, easy to clean and they hold humidity very well. The only drawback is that a plastic enclosure is harder to heat than a glass one.
