Patrick Nabors told me one time that he uses 10 gallon tanks to breed single pairs commercially. So this should work.
If your temperature is around 72 degrees, that is about optimum for fruit fly production. The life cycle can't really be made to go much faster. You'll probably want to start setting up new cultures every few days, depending upon how many frog you will be feeding. For about 40 frogs, I set up a new culture every other day, alternating between Drosophila melangogater and D. hydei. The D. hydei are slower to produce, but last longer.
