Painteds need a more tropical setup, whereas Goldens need a boggish setup. Plus all mantella species will hybridize with eachother, and since they're on CITES, and Madagascar is being butchered and torched to the ground, that is a nono. Another reason is that most mantellas are WC, and have toxins, and will crosstoxify eachother, and the parasite factor. Try a colony of Painteds or Goldens in the 20 gallon, it's a lot more rewarding and beneficial to the overall state of mantella keeping.
