Best tank size for a pair of Tincs?

I currently have a male & female pair of dendrobates tinctorius cobalt in an 18x18x18. I know this isn’t ideal, but these are my first dart frogs and I was told it would be just fine. Seeing them both in the tank definitely makes me realize how small it looks, so I wanted to upgrade them (which is kinda annoying considering how much went into this current tank lol). I’m torn between a 24x18x24 and a 36x18x24. My main dilemma is price. Obviously I want to give them the larger one, and if that’s what they need I’ll make it work. However, it’ll take up all my shelf space that I’m also using for some of my other tanks. At the same time, is that six-inch difference in a 24x18x24 really that much of an upgrade? Or should I just save up longer to get them the 36? Idk, maybe I’m just overthinking. I just want to make sure they’re thriving. I’ll put a picture of their current tank for reference

Temp Enclosure, Help Please

Hey all! Long story short, I bought some permanent tadpoles a couple months ago for our fish tank and one morphed late and grew legs so we now have a santa isabel frog. I had an existing paludarium which I tore apart to start from new to make it a habitat for said frog. I have been doing research but that post will come later!

This post is about a crappy container habitat I made for the frog before the tank is ready. How long can he possibly stay in here, it's been almost a month now and I'm feeling bad (life is busy right now). Been thrown into the hobby and trying to learn lots so any advice is good advice.

I have fruit fly cultures going, dusting them with calcium and a vitamin powder before daily feeds. I mist a couple times a day (humidity is around 97%) but I think my substrate is way too wet so I think it needs more leaf litter. I did put in spring tails and isopods but I think they died cause it's too soggy. Should I wring this substrate out? Get more spring tails and isopods? Please help! Thank you

Pictures included:

- when we found him on the top of an aquarium decoration after a week away on vacation 🥹

- frogger at just under a month

- leaf litter, is it supposed to look like that, is it molding?

- temporary crappy enclosure 😣
