Hi
Just a question regarding these little guys that I haven't been able to
find. How many gallons is needed per frog? Just don't want to over stock
my tank. Also has anyone had trouble with plecos with them, I heard
sometimes they will go after the AFS. My pleco is a Striped Bulldog Pleco(I
believe), if it makes any difference.

Don't know about the pleco since I don't have one of those.
I have two ADFs in a 30 gallon community tank - and they're
all over the tank. Here are some useful links about ADFs:

BTW none of mine have tried to escape despite gaps in the
hood. Maybe I'm just lucky? Or else the frogs know a good
thing when they have it. :) I did kill my first one, but
my second two are doing fine on a varied diet - HBH Frog &
Tadpole Bites about every other day; frozen brine shrimp &
frozen bloodworms once/week; and all the community fish food
(flakes, tablets, etc.) they care to partake of, but I think
the first 3 types of food are the most important for them.
