None. Because a 10 Gallon is MINIMUM space for 2 frogs. Pretty Cramped infact.
5-10 (preferably 10) gallons per frog is acceptable.
Also mixing any diffrent species whould not be done.

There's a general guideline of 5 gallons per frog, so 2 frogs of the size of an auratus are plenty for 10 gallons. I wouldn't crowd them, especially if you are considering mixing species. I have personally never taken the chance of mixing any of the different dart species together, but I can't argue with experienced hobbyist who have done so successfully. They usually have a lot more space than 10 gallons, however. Darts are usually territorial in general.
My leucs are in an 80 gallon and although they feed together, they all retire to their separate chosen territories for rest and sleep. My four blue auratus are in a 30 gallon and are relatively shy and easily intimidated, while the leucs are bold, aggressive feeders. In any event, I would recommend keeping different species separately and learning their habits before considering mixing. Even individuals in any specie can have different "personalities," so it's hard to generalize.
