Ok, I know you can't keep females of the same species together, but can I keep two (or more) males of the same species together. I'm not sure what species I'm gonna get, but I'll most likely get D. Pumilio, D. Azureus, or D. Leucomelas.

D. pumilio--really best in mated pairs. Both sexes are territorial. These aren't very good "beginner frogs" in general, so I'd go with something else first. D. azureus--2 males would probably get along just fine, or some people even keep a trio--2 males, but only 1 female. You need a tank with a large "footprint," about 10 gallons per frog, at least. Leucomelas--you can just order two unsexed juveniles, and whatever they turn out to be, they'll get along. Others you don't have to worry about sexing and territory much are D. galactonotus and D. auratus. I keep D. imitators in mixed sex groups, as well as keeping both males and females together with no problem.

D. auratus blue, auratus Ancon Hill, galactonotus orange, galactonotus yellow, fantasticus, reticulatus, imitator, castaneoticus, azureus, pumilio Bastimentos. P. lugubris, vittatus, terribilis mint green, terribilis orange.

Ok, I think I've decided on Azureus. I've got a 10 gallon tank set up, and I really don't have room for a larger tank. Now, I'm planning on trading a pair of Borneo Blood pythons to someone to get the frogs. I don't mean to be repetitive, but with Azureus, about how many frogs, max., could I put in this tank? I know you said 10 gallons per frog, but I'm not sure if that was talking about if I got froglets and they grew up to assorted sexes, but if I got ones that I knew the sexes of, do you think I could keep like a trio (2 males 1 female) in a tank this size?
