You can house a juvie PacMan but once it starts to get close to adult size you'll want to move it to at least a 10 gallon.

While a 10 would be a much better idea, there are a few species of toads that don't get very large. I had an adult female black toad (Bufo exul) once that was only about 2 1/2" long. Oak toads (Bufo quercicus) rarely exceed 1 1/2". They are the smallest toads in north america, and, are diurnal, so you can see them out and about duing the day.

How to get your wife to like toads; 1.Get a male toad. 2.Get him to hug your wifes wrist (amplexus). 3. Tickle him so he chirps in protest. 4.Say "Awww, he likes you". Note; Make sure he pees first or you may receive bodily harm during this procedure.

I'm sorry, I almost forgot. A 2" deep water dish would probably be too deep for an Oak toad. About 1/2 to 1" would be better. And make sure it's easy for him to get in and out of. They prefer sandy soil, too.
