Are they male or female? I think you should go for a 200gal to avoid upgrading or separation.

This would be for outside? A 100-gallon pond really isn't that big. I'd look for something that didn't have that ledge all around---it's meant for putting pots or plants on and would take away from their swimming space (the part of the pond that has any depth to it is relatively small). Have you considered getting a large stock tank (at least 150-gallons)?

I have 1 Eastern Painted in a 60 gal outside. I use a floating log because it doesn't take up too much swinng space. I used to have a shelving rack.

I don't have them yet but I might just get this pond and only have bull frogs in it. Plus fish for my mom. Yes it would be for out side.
