I have a ten gallon aquarium with a twenty watt bulb now first of all is that too much lighting for a ten gallon? Also i want to eventually have poison dart frogs in it. If i want leucomelas or azureus how many frogs can i have of these in a ten gallon? Thanks :perv:
 
I believe the rule of thumb with most dart frog species is one frog per 10 gallons of tank space.
 
I've read 1 frog per 5 gallon. I think a pair of smaller darts should be fine in there.

5 gallons is ok for froglets but most adult species including Dendrobates azureus do best with 10 gallons of space per frog. They are very territorial creatures that can kill each other very quickly if unmonitored in small tanks. A 10 gallon aquarium does not have a very big foot print.
 
The light should be fine. Frogs don't have special lighting needs, so pick out your lighting based on the plants you want to keep.
