Question
I have a white tree frog right now, but i would really like to get a red eyed tree frog. But before i do, i want to find out if they are ok to have in the same tank, or should i just get another white tree frog.

Answer
Hi Sarah, I keep both species but I would not recommend keeping those two species together in the same tank. Red eyes are a smaller and far more delicate species then White's. They could easily be physically injured by the larger, heavier White's and would definitely be out-competed for food. It also would not surprise me if a large White's tried to eat a smaller red eye.
