The true problem with the 10-20 gallon rule, is the fact that is DENSITY. Most people forget that. Each individual frog needs a lot of space. So basically, it is foolish to keep a single frog in say, a 40 gallon breeder (as they need about that much space individually) than to keep 3 more with them.
For instance, my sister has a room like 12 x 12 feet wide. She needs that much space individually, but I'm always hanging out in there. If I lived in there all the time, or if she had a twin, it would get TWICE AS MESSY. Therefore, my sister doesn't need half a room to live in.
Have fun with clawed frogs. I cried pretty hard (and so did my mom) when my two xenopus, Fudge and Skippy, died a few weeks ago. They were over six years old. You will learn that clawed frogs are a bit more intelligent and actually will play somewhat, and therefore they need a lot of space.
