I’ve been feeding my frog by hand with tongs, since he didn’t take very well to the sinking food, and I swear to god, one time, he sTRAIGHT UP TRIED EATING SWALLOWING THE TONGS. Like, his mouth was all the way around the edge, and I had to PRY his face off with a kebab stick. I’ve NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED FOR A PET IN MY LIFE 😂😂
I thought my dwarf frog was dumb at 1st. I heard they were scavengers so when I dropped blood worms in the tank and he didn't eat any of it off the ground I was like wtf. So I scoop some worms on the tip of a wooden chopstick and feed him at the surface of the water. Him and my Beta are always going at it. He even tried to attack this giant 🐌 in my tank. I was like dude that snail is wayyyyy to big for you buddy.
Bad swimmers, but spend all their lives underwater. Can't breathe water though, and they display some very strange behaviour. The most strangest, useless animal ever... im picking a pair up in 2 weeks :)
@@straqberrii522 ah. Um. Dead. Both died within a week and I have no idea why. They were fine up until a certain point, then I'm not sure what changed. I miss them, but now it gives me a chance to have shrimps and baby fish, because they ate the few cherry's I had last time. Rip Kormit and Pepe
I got my frog from a school project for ecology class where we made a micro ecosystem with snails, algae, some free-floating aquatic plants, and some other various micro fauna (water worms and tiny shrimp, like almost microscopic) it's self-sustaining so I don't have to put food for him he just scavenges through the small bits of plant matter and debris at the bottom (there's a lot of small bits of the floating plant that sync to the bottom, I think the shrimp might hide in there as well as in the plant), it's in a wide, jar like container that's no more than a third of a foot tall Edit: he is an African dwarf frog btw
That is a really awesome science project. I wish my school wouldve done this. Im sure you learned a lot about how to care for that ecosystem and how it works. Special knowledge that a select few will keep:)
My daughter was given 2 from one of her grade school teachers. We had them for many years and they never shed. I did hear them singing at night. They were so cool and am thinking about getting some again.
My African Dwarf Frog will either lay at the top/bottom of the tank and sleep, or chase around my Mollies and Guppies. Its so funny because he sings all the time! His names Kermit and I gotta love him haha.
These ADFs are the cutest little animals. It is now Sept. 2019, and I got 1 female and 2 males (tiny little babies from the pet store) in April 2012 into my pretty much freshly set up 5 galon tank, together with a male Betta. They got along absolutely great, but the 2 male frogs and the Betta died a couple of years ago during an incredible heat wave that went on for weeks, I was not able to keep the temp. down, because I've had to work. The female - always very much larger than the 2 males - and the 2 males mated uncounted times and she layed a lot of eggs, I tried to make some hideaways for the little ones, but due to too many hours at work I was not able to able to perform the necessary care to keep them alive/not getting eaten by their parents and the Betta. The amazing frog-lady not only survived during the terrible heat wave, she is still in amazing shape and mood! I still have her (now all by herself) in the same 5 galon tank. No heater, only a filter, that does NOT get changed each month, as the filter selling industry likes to dictate, I change as I see the need for it, and do random partial water changes, clean the inside of the glass. The tank contains many plants, and the best idea was putting a little cut-off with roots from a Pothos hanging into the tank. The thin roots grew incredibly fast and created a wonderful environment for my little frog lady. The leaves of the Pothos are growing outside and around the bottom of the tank, it looks wonderful, sometimes I cut the roots in the tank a little bit back, so the frog lady can do her daily exercise. I never thought that these tiny ADFs are so resilient, the work one has to do is minimal, the feeding is very easy: frozen blood worms (served into a miniature clay dish), with 1 or 2 fasting days/week. She comes out of her jungle whenever I tap with the long tweezer against the glass, I feed her mostly shortly before the light of the tank turns off, she still has enough light from the table lamp close to the tank, to forage. She is hardly out during the day, but she comes when I tap at the glass. I love watching sometimes the older videos of them mating, the Beta also made sometimes a bubble nest, and the frogs interacting - looked sometimes like they were playing - with the Beta. He was always curious to see what they were doing. Anyhow, my advice: contain yourself with changing the filter monthly, you don't do your ADFs a favor. After 7 1/2 yrs I can say that leaving the tank alone as much as possible - besides feeding - is the best what one can do. Enjoy your ADF, I gladly took a lot of pictures and videos over the years, too bad the frog lady is not interested in watching her former 2 guys with me. LOL
Omg thank you! I already have one great frog Hector❣️ and I wanted more frogs but some young worker at the zoo city said that he grows very much but he didn't and now I found this and you said that sometimes people can accidentally switch those two species! Thank youuuu now I can get another frog! 😁
I don’t know what to do, I’ve watched the video and I’m so scared they will die. My mom said I have to feed them TWICE A WEEK!! Not twice a day and I don’t want to underfeed them! There tank is very small :( and I have two
They gave me pellets for them and I really don’t want them to die!!! The guy who sold them also said to change water four time A YEAR!! That’s no good☹️ I really want them to live!☹️
I have 4 frogs with 2 bettas and a variety of fish in a 10 gallon, not a big variety only neon tetras, 2 guppies, and 6 dwarf gourami, they get along well and I figured out how to feed them without disrupting each other, I know it’s small but I’ve been observing and if they act irrationally then I know it’s time for a bigger setup, I love these tiny guys they give me a purpose, aquatic pets are on another level it’s an ecosystem that you build from the ground up, I recommend any newbies to get into the hobby with a minimum of $300 to keep a happy tiny aquarium :)

Wow, great video Gus! Recently I’ve changed up my tank. No more live bearers. I have a Angelfish, Gourami and I moved my rainbow shark and beloved peacock eel in. I’d love to send you a video!
Well mine just got eaten by my cat I'm so pissed because I wait for a long time just to have on of those frogs I'm also disappointed to myself because I'm so careless 😥
3:17 I miss my froggies singing :( he passed a few months ago when I tried to get him a friend, speaking from experience don’t keep two males together without any females, every time I’ve tried to have multiple males they kill each other. Well my sole surviving male now never sings, my older one would sing every night. I miss it, such a cute little sound
I had issues at first in my 10gal tank, went through about 3 frogs then one just kept living, got a few catfish and mollies nothing crazy. But I had the one for about a year now. Feed it frog pellets and it eats the other fishes food somethings. Just got two more babies i hope they do good.
Would growing some shrimp for them be a good live food? Like brine shrimp,since you can very easily get the eggs and raise them Also would a little platform for them be a good idea?
thank you so much! i have one frog and a few guppies, not realizing they had to be together xD getting to more soon, to make my trevor (my dwarf frog) happy! thanks again! 😁😀😄😉😎
I love mine. MOG and Freddy. They are the best. I love them like a member of my family. They are the best pets!! I keep mine with guppies. They don’t bother them at all🥰🥰🥰
my frog never eats in front of me. i feed him pellets (for aquatic frogs) and tiny shrimp. I’m not sure if he actually eats.. i haven’t seen him in the tank at all for two days. i don’t really know what to do (i change the water every week, have a heater, filter, air filtration, and keep him with 3 other fish)
btw... the ADFs are only social as long as they are quite young. The older they get the more they enjoy being by themselves, I can't find the source anymore, but I can tell you that my 7 1/2 yr. old frog lady is thriving, even she is all by herself now for a couple of years ago.
I use dirt and sand as my substrate. Had my tank for 3 years not one water change just have to top it off once a week. All my fish and thriving and my groggy to
I have a fluval chi 5 gallon set up on my desk, about 2 inches of gravel with another inch of sand ontop. 4 1''x1'' bundles of dwarf hair grass and 1 anubis plant in the center. It has a nano tank HOB that can be turned down to almost nothing. I use a coarse sponge over the intake. I have a 10 gallon normal aquarium heater in there set to 79F. Would this set up accommodate 2 of these frogs? I appreciate any advice. Thanks guys.
I just got one a lady was rehoming along with an angel fish and two tetras. I put the fish in my big tank and put the frog in a separate fully planted aquarium. I went and got two more frogs from Petco so he would have some friends. The frogs live with a bunch of snails and I saw one of the frogs try to eat a snail lol 😆
Just came home and couldnt find my frog well he was on top of my filter! Above the water. I was so scared he dried out! Are they smart enough to jump back in the water by themselves? Is having a little platform above water safe for these little guys?
So long as it is humid above water, he should be fine. Our tank lid is always dripping because its so humid which makes me feel better if our frog sits on top of a rock we have that peaks out the top of the water
Thanks for this video! I currently have a 5 gallon with 3 tiny goldfish in it (they are each about 1/2 an inch long). I read that goldfish and african dwarfs are not good tank companions. I was thinking of moving the goldfish and getting some african dwarfs for the tank along with a betta. How can you tell if the betta and frogs are happy together? I know bettas can sometimes be aggressive, did you ever have any problems between your betta and frogs?
African dwarf frogs make great companions with Bettas! In fact I think I've kept frogs with every betta I've ever owned. They leave each other alone for the most part👍 goldfish however dont mix too well🤔 try the betta! Best of luck!!
chicken they’re not generic goldfish, I don’t remember exactly what species they are but they stay under an inch long. They’re just compatible to live with the same species goldfish are.
@Cassidy Girouard my Betta was never aggressive towards the frogs, it was almost the other way around, the Betta figured out when it's feeding time he better takes care that the frogs don't snap at his tail or fins. LOL. So I fed him in another corner than the frogs
My school had one and people kept trying to get the frog and play with it so I took it home and I’m still doing research and I’m planning on getting him a new tank soon
Thank you for this video. I have adopted 2 frogs. I will be setting them up in their own tank of 3 gallons that will be nicely planted for them. They will be the only ones to be in the tank. I feel a 10 gallon is too much for them. Maybe a 5 max.
Mellé wedin You may want to consider getting a larger tank (maybe a 10 gal). I’m pretty sure he misspoke when mentioning the size of the tank. Many other sources recommend 2 frogs for a ten gallon tank
I got my african dwarf frogs a few days ago and am of course going to give them the best life they can. It makes me so sad though, because where I bought them has them in a little thing that is most definitely less than a gallon, pretty much nowhere to hide, & with instructions to feed them only 2 pellets each twice a WEEK. It is insane and i feel horrible for them and the other frogs they were selling like that & having the audacity to say theyd live HAPPILY like that. I will of course be moving them to a MUCHHHH bigger tank ASAP!
Yooo im happy you said they absolutely love live worms mines be goin crazy 😂 and i go in my damn back yard to get em one everyday and i aint that type 😂😮💨
Question. I understand that tanks should not be overstocked and it’s best to keep the stock at the bare minimum that way the aquatic pets have more space to swim, etc. however I got a lot of different answers and since you seem like you know what you’re doing do you think that I’m overstocked with 4 African dwarf frogs, 2 Cory catfish, 2 kuhli loaches and 2 blind tetras in a fairly but not over decorated 10 gallon?
I have something my fish and frog can hide in and my frog went in and never came out I got worried and got him out he went back in and I haven't seen him since and he never came out for food and I'm still worried what should I do?
When I had a tank these frogs were the first to die. I had 2. Followed by the African chillids. The only thing I kept alive were the albino catfish. Not sure what I did wrong, I cleaned the tank at least once a week and had a water filter. I came to the conclusion I wasn’t meant to have fish.
I feel terrible. I had old frogs that lived a miserable life. They were in a 6x6 inch tank…. with nothing but rocks and water. It was so tiny, less than a gallon. My older sister impulse bought them when we went on vacation to the beach. The one died after 2 years. The other one died after 5 years. I’m really sad now. I didn’t feed them correctly, I didn’t change their water enough. This makes me so sad
I am researching to purchase some soon. I have a few questions if that is ok 1. Can you use fish stress coat in the water or will that hurt them 2. Would it be ok to keep 2 of them with 3 neon tetras, 6 ghost shrimp, and a snail in a ten gallon? 3. Will they jump out of the tank if you don't use a lid 4. Can they be kept on play sand as the substrate?
1. Stress cost is fine, treat their care similar to any usual fish. 2: yes they can live together but your shrimp may be eaten. 3: You NEED a lid, trust me. 4: Yes that is fine
Hi I have recently gotten 2 African dwarf frogs and I am having a hard time finding live black worms, also would live black worms harm anything in my tank such as other fish etc etc?
Earth worms and bloodworms are the exact same thing i only feed mines earthworms and bloodworms from my backyard i hope you still can find this good information. Going on 8 Months of having it and issa big boii/girl 😂
Yes, I got a small one about 1.5 inch, with my ghost shrimp and it tried to eat them, I also have tetras that were almost eaten so the guys not really saying the truth when he said you can have them together.
Are they likely to jump out of the aquarium? I dont have a glass cover at the top of my tank.. so I am scared that they will jump out ..? I would appreciate an answer:) thank you
can fish medicines such as ich-x and general cure be used with frogs I need to medicate my tank and i'm wondering if the frogs would survive the medicines
I've had 15 now and all of them haven't lived past 2 months, some lasting less then a week, they float at the top barely moving then they die soon after, my tank is a 10 gallon and it's just them according to several experts I'm not doing anything wrong, they die mostly after a water change but I use special amphibian water conditioner before hand as recommended by an expert, Please help! I don't understand what's wrong!
I bought one left it in my 10 tank with 5 bettas and a placo. A few hours later. I can’t find them anymore. Idk if he’s dead somewhere. But point is i can’t find him when i look in my tank
So is it safe to put them in 10 gallon Tank !! It will be easier for them to jump up for air !! Instead of 20 gallon tank? They are so adorable and cute omg !!
i think my tank is too deep for my frog... now what do i do? i got him yesterday and he was hiding behind my filter all day, then this morning he seemed to be just floating behind my filter and i actually thought he was dead! so i moved the filter and kind of pushed him off so he would move, and then he sunk to the bottom and was able to swim up to the top to get air but only for a split second. what do i do when my frog is behind the filter and how do i get it to eat???
I’m thinking of getting a African dwarf frog do I have to put them with fish? If I don’t will a 5 gallon tank be good for 2 African dwarf frogs and can I have 2 frogs or do I need more and if I get a African dwarf frog should I get 2 females 2 males or 1 male and 1 female
@myaquariuminfo How do you keep the frog tank clean? My daughter has these frogs and she is having to clean there tank once a week bc orange stuff takes over the whole tank. She has live plants as well
I read they nearly blind and I give them 2 pellets everyday and lime younsaid they lunge at it then it fall I was worried they wouldn't be able to find them. This why I looked this up also how can you tell a female from a male? I read one is light than the other and that is.my case also one.is bigger than the other the lighter one is.the bigger one
Who i just bought 2 from a store with "a year supply" of food and its these little pellets and the paper that comes with them says to feed them twice a week... Im really trying to figure out a good feeding diet and schedule but all these videos are saying different things
Hello, I have two African dwarf frogs. I'm not sure whether they're eating or not because I have them in a tank with other fish so I feel like the fish are eating the food before the frogs can get a chance, how can I be 100% sure that my frogs are eating?
Change it every week? I just changed my filter and tank and everything out and such and just got these guys 2 days ago. So ur telling me in a few days I need to get a new filter and all??

Got one like 2 minutes ago! Ah I’m so excited! Thanks! I will use these tips
How often do you feed them?
I feed them twice a week 5 pelets has worked very well.✨
Thank you for a great video! I'm wondering if Clown Kilifish (Epiplatys annulatus) would be good tankmates for my african dwarf frogs?
They are so curious! My bigger a.d.f hides in his castle with his head poked out and his arms holding him up, very chill.
I had issues at first in my 10gal tank, went through about 3 frogs then one just kept living, got a few catfish and mollies nothing crazy. But I had the one for about a year now. Feed it frog pellets and it eats the other fishes food somethings. Just got two more babies i hope they do good.
Would growing some shrimp for them be a good live food?
Like brine shrimp,since you can very easily get the eggs and raise them
Also would a little platform for them be a good idea?
as long as they aren't too big they should be fine, but not as a permanent food source, you gotta mix it up more with shrimp
thank you so much! i have one frog and a few guppies, not realizing they had to be together xD getting to more soon, to make my trevor (my dwarf frog) happy! thanks again! 😁😀😄😉😎
I love mine. MOG and Freddy. They are the best. I love them like a member of my family. They are the best pets!! I keep mine with guppies. They don’t bother them at all🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely love my ADFs! They go nutty for black worms
I’m so excited, i might be getting 3 in a couple of weeks. They’ll be tank mates with my 6 female guppies in a 95 L tank.
my frog never eats in front of me. i feed him pellets (for aquatic frogs) and tiny shrimp. I’m not sure if he actually eats.. i haven’t seen him in the tank at all for two days. i don’t really know what to do (i change the water every week, have a heater, filter, air filtration, and keep him with 3 other fish)
Any update
btw... the ADFs are only social as long as they are quite young. The older they get the more they enjoy being by themselves, I can't find the source anymore, but I can tell you that my 7 1/2 yr. old frog lady is thriving, even she is all by herself now for a couple of years ago.
Just got 2 of these today....pretty cool critters. Great video
IM GETTING MINE THIS TUESDAY OMG I AM SO EXCITED
I use dirt and sand as my substrate. Had my tank for 3 years not one water change just have to top it off once a week. All my fish and thriving and my groggy to
1 frog per gallon but DO NOT keep 1 frog in a gallon bowl.
Why not? If it's 1 gallon/frog why can't i keep 1 frog in a 1 gallon tank?
@@rollothewalker5535 .. they said bowl
RolloTheWalker because it needs more room to move around in
What about a 20 gallon 👁👄👁
I'm considering getting a dart frog. Will a 75 gallon be enough or should I consider a 20,000 gallon?
How can I tell if a male is a male or a female is a female
OliverTheGangster Mc.Queen males are normally smaller and females have a clocaca
Lift the frogs up and look for signs of a white bump on the back of each front leg. This subdermal gland indicates a male.
RIP Lucas the African Dwarf Frog.. ???? - 2019. Mostly why he died: He was blind, and it looked like he was albino, also.
He probably wasn’t blind. Albino animals often have see through eyes and adf’s generally have poor eyesight.
I have a fluval chi 5 gallon set up on my desk, about 2 inches of gravel with another inch of sand ontop. 4 1''x1'' bundles of dwarf hair grass and 1 anubis plant in the center. It has a nano tank HOB that can be turned down to almost nothing. I use a coarse sponge over the intake. I have a 10 gallon normal aquarium heater in there set to 79F. Would this set up accommodate 2 of these frogs? I appreciate any advice. Thanks guys.
I just got one a lady was rehoming along with an angel fish and two tetras. I put the fish in my big tank and put the frog in a separate fully planted aquarium. I went and got two more frogs from Petco so he would have some friends. The frogs live with a bunch of snails and I saw one of the frogs try to eat a snail lol 😆
After mine go up for air they dive back down at break-neck speed sometimes slamming into the gravel/ornaments - it's crazy.
It's hilarious
Just came home and couldnt find my frog well he was on top of my filter! Above the water. I was so scared he dried out! Are they smart enough to jump back in the water by themselves? Is having a little platform above water safe for these little guys?
So long as it is humid above water, he should be fine. Our tank lid is always dripping because its so humid which makes me feel better if our frog sits on top of a rock we have that peaks out the top of the water
My dwarfs have pellets and frozen blood worms so I put the in a bowl so they can accses it easily and don’t have to dig for it
Thanks for this video! I currently have a 5 gallon with 3 tiny goldfish in it (they are each about 1/2 an inch long). I read that goldfish and african dwarfs are not good tank companions. I was thinking of moving the goldfish and getting some african dwarfs for the tank along with a betta. How can you tell if the betta and frogs are happy together? I know bettas can sometimes be aggressive, did you ever have any problems between your betta and frogs?
Daymn ....I was hoping on getting and african dwarf in my new set up with cpl goldfish
African dwarf frogs make great companions with Bettas! In fact I think I've kept frogs with every betta I've ever owned. They leave each other alone for the most part👍 goldfish however dont mix too well🤔 try the betta! Best of luck!!
chicken they’re not generic goldfish, I don’t remember exactly what species they are but they stay under an inch long. They’re just compatible to live with the same species goldfish are.
@Cassidy Girouard my Betta was never aggressive towards the frogs, it was almost the other way around, the Betta figured out when it's feeding time he better takes care that the frogs don't snap at his tail or fins. LOL. So I fed him in another corner than the frogs
@@cassidyg920 goldfish don't stay under an inch long plus they are cold water fish with a warm water loving frog ya no!
My school had one and people kept trying to get the frog and play with it so I took it home and I’m still doing research and I’m planning on getting him a new tank soon
I have a water aerator stone in my tank that makes quite a lot of noise and moves the water a bit,is this ok for the frogs to swim properly ?
Very helpful thank you
My betta seems alright with these frogs
yes, that's my experience too. My Betta had even a favorite frog-buddy, whenever the frog was not to see, the Betta started looking for him.
They are alright but bettas tend to eat their food :(
Reki
Whenever I see a frog floating I try to put food on top of them, they most commonly eat ut
Thank you amazing video ✅
Excellent video
Thank you for this video. I have adopted 2 frogs. I will be setting them up in their own tank of 3 gallons that will be nicely planted for them. They will be the only ones to be in the tank. I feel a 10 gallon is too much for them. Maybe a 5 max.
Mellé wedin You may want to consider getting a larger tank (maybe a 10 gal). I’m pretty sure he misspoke when mentioning the size of the tank. Many other sources recommend 2 frogs for a ten gallon tank
They seem pretty happy to me.
Thanks for the suggestion. I why push the frogs limits. They love shallow clam waters. They seem to be really happy in their 3 gallon planted tank.
@@Terufe2670 I have a 5 galon tank and my female ADF is now in her 8th year. They should be easily able to dive up for air, so 9-10" is high enough.
I had these when I was younger. It escaped some how and died😭😭😭 I was really young I’m a great owner now
I had three when I was about 12. They straight up disappeared. My parents and I have no idea what happened to them.
I got my african dwarf frogs a few days ago and am of course going to give them the best life they can. It makes me so sad though, because where I bought them has them in a little thing that is most definitely less than a gallon, pretty much nowhere to hide, & with instructions to feed them only 2 pellets each twice a WEEK. It is insane and i feel horrible for them and the other frogs they were selling like that & having the audacity to say theyd live HAPPILY like that. I will of course be moving them to a MUCHHHH bigger tank ASAP!
I have some neon tetras and it tried to lung at it, I separated it, should I put it back or keep it away?
Yooo im happy you said they absolutely love live worms mines be goin crazy 😂 and i go in my damn back yard to get em one everyday and i aint that type 😂😮💨
Question. I understand that tanks should not be overstocked and it’s best to keep the stock at the bare minimum that way the aquatic pets have more space to swim, etc. however I got a lot of different answers and since you seem like you know what you’re doing do you think that I’m overstocked with 4 African dwarf frogs, 2 Cory catfish, 2 kuhli loaches and 2 blind tetras in a fairly but not over decorated 10 gallon?
I have something my fish and frog can hide in and my frog went in and never came out I got worried and got him out he went back in and I haven't seen him since and he never came out for food and I'm still worried what should I do?
you should probably try taking out the hiding place and try a different one. or you could just take out any hiding places and see how he's doing
When I had a tank these frogs were the first to die. I had 2. Followed by the African chillids. The only thing I kept alive were the albino catfish. Not sure what I did wrong, I cleaned the tank at least once a week and had a water filter. I came to the conclusion I wasn’t meant to have fish.
I feel terrible. I had old frogs that lived a miserable life. They were in a 6x6 inch tank…. with nothing but rocks and water. It was so tiny, less than a gallon. My older sister impulse bought them when we went on vacation to the beach. The one died after 2 years. The other one died after 5 years. I’m really sad now. I didn’t feed them correctly, I didn’t change their water enough. This makes me so sad
Love the vid and question do u know a good online plave where i can get some java moss
I like to buy mine in person as it let's me see how healthy the moss is🤔 but I've had luck on Amazon...any luck yet? Keep me updated!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING MY AFRICAN DWARF FROG HE WAS ABOUT TO DIE THANK YOU
I am researching to purchase some soon. I have a few questions if that is ok
1. Can you use fish stress coat in the water or will that hurt them
2. Would it be ok to keep 2 of them with 3 neon tetras, 6 ghost shrimp, and a snail in a ten gallon?
3. Will they jump out of the tank if you don't use a lid
4. Can they be kept on play sand as the substrate?
1. Stress cost is fine, treat their care similar to any usual fish. 2: yes they can live together but your shrimp may be eaten. 3: You NEED a lid, trust me. 4: Yes that is fine
@@NAMEERKLIFTS thank you so much!
Hi I have recently gotten 2 African dwarf frogs and I am having a hard time finding live black worms, also would live black worms harm anything in my tank such as other fish etc etc?
Earth worms and bloodworms are the exact same thing i only feed mines earthworms and bloodworms from my backyard i hope you still can find this good information. Going on 8
Months of having it and issa big boii/girl 😂
Will they eat real shrimp like Ghost shrimp
Yes, I got a small one about 1.5 inch, with my ghost shrimp and it tried to eat them, I also have tetras that were almost eaten so the guys not really saying the truth when he said you can have them together.
Are they likely to jump out of the aquarium? I dont have a glass cover at the top of my tank.. so I am scared that they will jump out ..? I would appreciate an answer:) thank you
can fish medicines such as ich-x and general cure be used with frogs I need to medicate my tank and i'm wondering if the frogs would survive the medicines
@@yousuck6532 Thank You
Most fish meds can kill your adf google it first
I've had 15 now and all of them haven't lived past 2 months, some lasting less then a week, they float at the top barely moving then they die soon after, my tank is a 10 gallon and it's just them according to several experts I'm not doing anything wrong, they die mostly after a water change but I use special amphibian water conditioner before hand as recommended by an expert, Please help! I don't understand what's wrong!
Are Bettas good with them I have one and a few snails in a 10 gallon tank will one be good for that?
I bought one left it in my 10 tank with 5 bettas and a placo. A few hours later. I can’t find them anymore. Idk if he’s dead somewhere. But point is i can’t find him when i look in my tank
Update ?
@@user-qk1hf8cx4c yea i found it thx. it was just hiding under a decoration. Lmaoo
So is it safe to put them in 10 gallon Tank !! It will be easier for them to jump up for air !! Instead of 20 gallon tank? They are so adorable and cute omg !!
Did not know they croak under water lol n it was LOUD lol i remember getting one as a teen n going to school late cuz i couldn't sleep lol
i got two african dwarf frogs the day before yesterday. their names are fungus and lettuce
What about the light? Do they like certain types of lighting? Is there a light color that’s not good for them?
i think my tank is too deep for my frog... now what do i do? i got him yesterday and he was hiding behind my filter all day, then this morning he seemed to be just floating behind my filter and i actually thought he was dead! so i moved the filter and kind of pushed him off so he would move, and then he sunk to the bottom and was able to swim up to the top to get air but only for a split second. what do i do when my frog is behind the filter and how do i get it to eat???
I’m thinking of getting a African dwarf frog do I have to put them with fish? If I don’t will a 5 gallon tank be good for 2 African dwarf frogs and can I have 2 frogs or do I need more and if I get a African dwarf frog should I get 2 females 2 males or 1 male and 1 female
@myaquariuminfo How do you keep the frog tank clean? My daughter has these frogs and she is having to clean there tank once a week bc orange stuff takes over the whole tank. She has live plants as well
I have a mini pond on my front porch, can I have some of these frogs in there? I live in North Florida and it can get into the 20-30's Fahrenheit.
I read they nearly blind and I give them 2 pellets everyday and lime younsaid they lunge at it then it fall I was worried they wouldn't be able to find them. This why I looked this up also how can you tell a female from a male? I read one is light than the other and that is.my case also one.is bigger than the other the lighter one is.the bigger one
Who i just bought 2 from a store with "a year supply" of food and its these little pellets and the paper that comes with them says to feed them twice a week... Im really trying to figure out a good feeding diet and schedule but all these videos are saying different things
Hello, I have two African dwarf frogs. I'm not sure whether they're eating or not because I have them in a tank with other fish so I feel like the fish are eating the food before the frogs can get a chance, how can I be 100% sure that my frogs are eating?
@Hunter Payne I was told not to touch the frogs as they can give infection? Do I use gloves while doing it?
I soooo want them in my tank but I have ember tetras and blue eyed somethings (they're small)
I have neon tetras and it tried to attack them. I thought it was because it was hungry but I don’t know what to do.
I got some shrimp to help clean up the little bits of food that they wouldn’t eat...
They ate em in 15 minutes 💀
What size tank should they be in if I were to put it with betta fish ?
ty
Question why are African dwarf frogs are so able too get stuck in an freshwater aquarium filter. Okay please answer me back😀
Do you have to keep more than one or can you just keep one in a tank
You should always have more than one since they’re social. Hope that helps!
Love these👍👍👍👍
Hi my frogs skin is getting blotchy ? Do u know what that could be?
i just picked up 2 baby African Dwarf Frogs should i do anything differently ?
Change it every week? I just changed my filter and tank and everything out and such and just got these guys 2 days ago. So ur telling me in a few days I need to get a new filter and all??
He said water changes, so not the filter
would it be alright to keep 2 in a 3 gallon tank? also what kind of lighting and heating is necessary?
They are social meaning that they would rather be in small groups. The size is perfectly fine and the water should be slightly above room temprrature!
Lynnette Taitano thanks! I decided to get a betta instead but i appreciate the advice :)
Too small for them I'd say spoil them with a 10 Gallon with live plants.
