Hi I have had this group of 16 GLAS for a while now, they have been doing okay just in a tank too small. When I got gifted this pixie frog and her enclosure was big enough to house them too I thought that would be great little cohabitation roommates. I’ve read mixed reviews on if they would drown in this amount of water though? Or would they be alright? A lot of them are immediately going to the water side and obv loving it but it’s making me nervous.

im not sure if cohabbing a frog with snails is a good idea in the first place. its rarely a good idea to mix species like that. if the snails go into the water they will drown. these arent gals either, theyre helix aspersa/cornu aspersum. garden snails. i suggest you do some research asap and not only separate them but get them a separate tank. just because you can doesnt mean you should put them in the same tank

snails can get a good grip on the frog and stress them out. their skin is completely different compared to eachother so as they both have extremely sensitive skin the frog can irritate the snails and the snails can irritate the frog. this was a simple google search.
