I have a 75 gallon tank and a 12 gallon nano tank, I want to setup a frog viv. i have new to frogs and would like some advice. As newbie should I go small first and work my way up or start off with a small setup. Also, can anyone recommend a good book. I would like to learn as much as I can before I purchase anything.

Thanks,
Miller

Set the small tank up with a quick and easy set up. Just make sure you have all the frogs needs covered. Get a couple of frogs.Then take your time and set up the big one more elaborate. have a blast good luck

That's the most practical idea. An initial small tank can act as a kind of longer-term "quarantine" tank, where you can be sure all your frogs are eating, getting along together, healthy and for keeping track of their individual markings and personalities for awhile. After that however, I'm an advocate of "bigger is better" for most display purposes. With special uses, such as breeding select pairs, etc. it is also easier to keep track in a 10 gallon, but for four to six or so of the more communal darts, a 75 offers a lot of opportunity for creating a beautiful "mini-rainforest" with a nice variety of foliage, falls, waterways, etc.
