grey treefrog mixed with darts?

[jakeyost89]

Hey guys, I currently have a 29G tall tank containing a grey tree frog and fbt. I'm really interested in the darts and was wondering if mixing a couple darts in with these guys would be ok? if so what species would get along with them?
Thanks!

i'm pretty sure you're going to find that most people who keep dart frogs are totally against mixing at all. if you really want to find out you're probably going to have to mix them yourself and keep an eye on things. i do suggest you own them separate for quite some time to get used to their care, habits, etc. and keep an eye on health, eating habits, signs of disease...

one step at a time...

I would mostly be afraid of the tree frogs eating the dart frogs. I had a RETF that had a nice pond area in his viv. One day I had the bright idea to put some fantail guppies and water frogs in the pond. After a couple of days, there was nothing left in the water.
Other than that, I don't think there would really be too much of a problem. I could see the sleeping times to be a problem. Most tree frogs are nacturnal where as all of my dart frogs have been very active during the day. But this might help for keeping the feeding separated.

Thanks for the responses guys!

the fbt toxins are bad against any other type of frogs,
also all these animals will stress each others out... 29g is way too small
if you wanna mix, you need several hundreds of gallon tank, and A LOT of experience which you obviously dont have if your asking this question here, no offense
mixing is not a good idea, considering there is absolutely no good for the frogs itself

Several hundred gallons? Seriously? Mixing can be done safely in a 29G tank. I'm mixing native species in a TWENTY gallon tank. I've got a tank currently that's around 80-90G, and I'm mixing in that. I've mixed in a tank as small as a 10G! In fact, the guys in the 80-90G tank just came out of a 50G tank (the largest tank I have, actually, that doesn't have a topper to maximize size). All of my mixed critters are certainly healthy and happy.

That said, it depends on the required parameters for the animals you want to mix, the risk of toxicity, etc.

Is your FBT WC or CB? What size will your darts be when you purchase them, and how large will they get? Nocturnal frogs are opportunists, they WILL and DO eat in the day time. FBTs will be up whenever they feel like it, and they'll likely occupy the same niche as the darts. I personally would not risk mixing with a FBT and darts. I've not kept a grey tree frog, so I don't know about their habits.
