No, I had a 20 gallon long tank for my Xenopus and it didn't work. My old female was nearly five inches snout to vent. Best stretch to 40 gallon breeder. They are very active compared to most frogs.

Are you sure those white worm things are dangerous? Many people have these, but they are not the same kind as rhabdias nemetodes. They are just scavengers off the frog droppings. Reptomin has reported to cause it for some reason, but its harmless.

If, however, your frog's skin becomes cloudy and sloughs off. Your frog is also lethargic, a treatment of Ivermectin should be done ASAP, and potentially the cheap panacur,(fenbendazole) if you can find some way for them to take that orally.

Careful with Ivermectin. Fortunately, my frogs didn't go into toxic shock when my vet injected them. It's not fun to give frogs, particullary aquatic frogs, injections.
