Default What can I keep in a 18 litre RUB

I'm quite new to amphibians as I've only had one pacman frog, but I would like to know is there any other amphibians that could live happily in a 18 litre RUB? Thanks.

Really? i was misinformed then. What would you keep a Pacman in? i mean he didn't move much just to go into water and then he'd sit in the same spot for days or weeks.

Are they hard to look after? Do you know any really good care sheets?

smaller and slightly more active than horned frogs there not as easy to keep, from what ive heard they do with warmer day time temp (75-80F) and a noticeable drop at night (70-65F) but are generally very adaptable and hardy. otherwise they are good eaters altho prone to obesity in captivity. due to the endangered status most tomato frogs in the trade are cb
