Default set up thought

Ok so here is a thought i had for a tank set up. I have a 75 gal tank im not using and was thinking of buying a piece of plexi glass divideing it in half and puting Azureus in one half 2 males and 1 female. And in the other half having a male and female colbalt's. is this a good idea or not? Will their be enough room to house each of thease with the number of each that i want with the tank divided in half?

Glenn is more of a tinc expert than I am.
The delimma with dividing a viv is cross contamination and visual barriers between the divider. As far as plexiglas goes I personally would use a glass divider instead.
Plexiglas will warp. My pair of BYH are in a 18x18x24 viv and have produced and use all of the viv.

Just some thoughts.

IMHO separate vivs are better than divided vivs.
There are plenty of PDFs that do great in groups and will utilize the extra space in a large viv.

There would be plenty of room for them, but I have never done a divided tank. Like Beth said, cross contamination would be the biggest concern. If it was me I'd either build the 75 and keep one group of frogs or trade it for a couple of 29's.

Have you looked at Leucomelas at all? A great group frog that would love that 75! I have 5 in a 65g. They use the whole tank, are very active and have a beautiful call.

Good point guess i will have to read about this cross contamination stuff. just thought it would be nice to have one tank instead of tanks all over the place. I did that once with reptiles started with one tank ended up with 15.. that got to be alot of work and expensive cricket bill every week... Ok one type of frog per tank got it.. I feel a relapse coming on..

Default set up thought....

Why not learn how to cultivate crickets??? I'm considering it, and it doesn't look that awful...
