Climbing animal for a brackish palu?

[Yemeyana]

So I'm considering what I can do with my 20 gallon tank if I don't get allowed a snake...

The current back-up plan is to turn it into a brackish paludarium with a mangrove theme. Stock would include some bumblebee gobies and red-nosed shrimp, and perhaps a 'freshwater' sole.

So what I'm after now is some animals that could work vertically in this setup. I can be pretty clever about where I put the land, and I'd build upwards (giving about 15-20g water, and dry space of anywhere from 10g+ vertically.

My guess is to pick a tree frog or a very small lizard... unsure how the salinity of the water, size of the fish, and height would affect my herp choice.

Any type of Eleutherodactylus species should work. They are well adapted to a brackish environment.

By the way. There are a TON of different varieties of Eleutherodactylus. So I would recommend doing a bit of research into what the specifics of a mangrove environment include, and base your decision on that. The Eleutherodactylus species, from what I understand, is considered to be one of the largest genus of frog. So you shouldn't have a hard time finding one of these frog that will fit! Good Luck!

Wow, thanks...! Lots of frogs.

My search has led me to believe that they're very loud though... is that true? It would be problematic....

Fiddler Crabs would be pretty cool...
