just was wondering if you could put 2 pacman frogs in the same tank, i have heard if they are the same size then you can. also i heard that albino pacmans are sterile? is this true? thanx

Albino pac mans are not sterile. They are just as fertile as any others. The only sterile Ceratophrys are the hybrids (fantasy frogs). They can not be kept together even if the same size. Two the same size could live fine for a day or two, but when one gets hungry and grabs the other, both could end up dying. There is a caresheet on my site, the reptizone, listed below. Andy

NEVER put any living thing other than food in a pac-mans tank. A pac-man is such a pig it will try to eat another pac-man bigger than itself.

Then I believe that if you have them from small together she does not pass anything. I have an even meeting from small, the female has about 10 cm. and is the double of great that the male, and until the day of today has not passed anything. Greetings.

I watched a small pac man try to eat a large one on "the most extreme" on animal planet you...never mind.

Doesn't mean it won't happen. If you keep two together you always have the risk of them eating each other. Other than during the breeding season, do you know what a horned frogs diet consists of? About 90% of it is other horned frogs. Andy

Here's another thing I just thought of. It is important to know if your frog is defecating regularly. If there are 2 frogs together in a tank, how could you tell who went and who didn't? And why would you put cannibalistick frogs together anyway? Never a good idea (:

You need to word that better I have no clue what you are trying to say. But if it's saying you can keep them together then forget about it. These frogs are solitary animals they will try to eat anything in the enclosure with them.

Yeah you can put 2 in the same tank if you wanna end up with 1. It's a really bad idea to even attempt it. I currently own 4 of these frogs, and wouldn't attempt to put them in the same tank together. A 10 gallon aquarium is not that expensive so there is no reason to put these frogs toether unless you are breeding them and that is risky as well.

I would not chance it. I had one of my horned frogs biting at the glass of the tank, because my other horned frog was in the next tank over and I had not yet replaced the background to shield him from view. Unless I was a very educated breeder (which I'm not), I would keep em seperated.
