Thanks for all the input! I've seen pictures of them in people's hands, and it looks to be a pretty good size. Though, compared to my burm, they're uber tiny =)

I have so many left over aquariums, that it's no problem to switch them out to a 55 or larger. I just keep hearing 7-10 gallons per frog over and over, and I figured a 20 gallon long tank would be great - easier to clean than a 55!

I'm all for giving them the best I can, if I couldn't afford it I wouldn't have gotten them. They are so funny! When they see me bring out the can of food, they do a "happy dance" of sorts =).

And just an update, they are now in a 20 gallon long, no substrate, a whisper filter and some terracotta pots (on their sides) that I silliconed to the bottom (aquarium grade, of course). I think they'll be ok for now, as they still are really small. I will switch them out to a larger one in a couple weeks, as I assume they'll grow quite a bit in that time.

Thanks again for all the input,
-Jackie
