5-6 at least need 4-5ft tank liao. mayb can do a 5x2x3 tank for them then can put in some potted plants, large DW n BW. will be very nice. use 6-8 mm glass can liao. then have an area for water maybe with 2" -3" height should be enough. im thinking of cutting a small piece of arcylic and sticking it in the tank to create a mini pond for my froggies.

water in the tank lor. if u scared ma fan can just keep the bottom water. that was what the LFS did. like keep feeders like this. but must provide a BW with more branches for them lor. so they can rest on the BW. gravel is put to look nicer nia. i think even if without gravels with only cat litter also no prob. one of the site i posted the guy only keep his frog with kitchen towel base.

if tank big. smell will not be a big problem... but to commit a 4-5ft tank for frogs, need alot of thinking and persuasion...
