Default i need a little help

Hi, i want to build a 20gallon paludarium with a waterfall, fish, plants both in and out of the water, and a frog. What species of frog would be appropriate for this type of paludarium?

The only species of frog that will do well in a viv that small with a large water feature are fire belly toads. Tree frogs require more climbing space, and dart frogs are not suited to tanks with large water features.

Maybe figure out what interests you most, and build and enclosure to suite it, not the other way around. Have anything in mind more specific then "a frog"?

Maybe dwarf African frogs? Check the "care sheets" you can find on other forums.
