Hi Everyone:
I have recently set up a 36L x 12 deep x 18 high tank. With the false bottom plus substrate and the foam background, I've probably lost about 4-5 inches in height and 2-3 inches in depth. I am looking at getting some auratus, but am wondering how many I can house in this tank. I would like to have a pair that may eventually breed and realize that if I only get two young frogs I'm taking my chances with the sex. Can I house 3 or 4 in there? I have read conflicting opinions on whether or not auratus do well in groups.
Also, the breeder I've been speaking to says the frogs he has are 10+ months old. At this age, would he be able to make a fairly good guess as to sex?
Thanks,
Christine
