K guys time to rack the brain cells Laughing

What do you think of housing adult whites in a tank that also has a pool for xenopus?

The tank is big enough, the frogs are all adults and CB and I would make sure the whites could escape from the pool if nessasary.

This is just a thought atm so I'm idea gathering before going ahead to see what the general consesus is.

I'm not that interested in breeding the frogs so eggs/tadpole loss wont be an issue

All ideas gratefully received

Thanks

I wouldn't recomend it, for one xenopus are the main reason chytrid fungus has spread like it has.

Also whites dont like a huge amount of humidity all year long and having a pool in thier viv will create alot.

best to keep things seperate Wink

yeah i wouldn't keep them together. i would guess that the whites would probably go for the xenopus
