Can you keep D.azureus, D.auratus, D.leucomelas, and D.tinctorius in a large tank like a 30-40 gallon? If not what should i do?

How many are you planning to keep of each? They all should cohabitate provided there are plenty of hiding spaces.

if you are going to undertake this task which may i state i am not condoning then of that list you gave the only ones you could house together would be the leucs and the auratus. the azureus will not do well in a community tank and the tincs will be to large and definitely out compete for the food. stick with the leucs and auratus but if you find eggs leave them in the tank or atleast do not raise them to sell. be responsible and check out the old post for mixing and see the general consensus on this topic

i've never kept mixed species together and as a general rule i hear not to do it. i've talked to people who have kept up to 3 different species and have done fine. let me state that they were in very large custom made vivariums with plenty of room, ground and height, to where they don't have to see each other if they don't want to. like houseofserpents asked how many of each do you plan on keeping? you listed 4 differents species i believe.

Please dont try this, and search the forum for mixing threads.
