Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was thinking about ideas for a new tank and I am close to buying a 75 gallon aquarium from my local pet store. I was thinking about combining the Columbian terribilis and the northern Ecuador form of the frog Epipedobates Tricolor. I was wondering what anyone thought about this because I don't know much about tricolor. I thought that these two types would work well together since they are from the same area and they would have a rather large habitat with the 75 gallon.

I have four P. terribilis in an 80 gallon and they take up all the space they have, established separate territories for sleeping and resting, but share the center for feeding. While they are gentle frogs, do well in their own small group, I wouldn't chance mixing them with anything else. I just think it's best not to mix species, let alone different genera, at least until you have some personal experience with both in separate habitats. There may be problems with territory, intimidation, even if you don't see it happening, and stress, that you may not recognize until you have a dead frog and can't figure out why. My reasoning has always been that even if frogs come from the same area, they don't come from the same small area as a 75 gallon tank.
