Hi John The longest I've had Hymenochirus (the little guys) live is about six years (I've had the larger Xenopus species live fot 12yrs+). Providing they are...
Thank you so much, Richard! I will purchase what you suggest to use prophylactically, if that would work or be ok. I'd rather prevent it than try to treat it....
Hi Mickey Yes get your tank up and running again and have the filter fully operational. Then get some more frogs, whether to get 6 at once or build up...
Thank you, again, Richard! I didn't think to quarantine them and that is an excellent idea. I think I'll do it with the first pair as well (in case one or...
The fish in my community tank have come down with Ick today. I have 2 ADFs in there with them. From what I have read online, I should separate the ADFs because...
Hi luluminescent@y... Not sure what you've seen on line but most treaments for white spot are based on methylene blue or malachite green (both copper ...
Hello! We are new to the list and have been the proud owner of an African Dwarf Frog since August. He was an "Aquababies" frog. Just two weeks ago we set up...
Hi Holly Welcome to the group. The light should be fine, although a shorter photoperiod around twelve hours might be better. If you want to keep fish with him...
I gave up tryin to keep fish with my frogs, 6 fish later that is, the frogs liked to chase and eat them. could just be my three but they ate anything that isnt...
Hi Tian Sorry I just assumed Holly was talking about (the V small) Hymenochirus in which case small peaceful fish are fine, in small numbers. But if its...

Hi Tian Just checked up on "Aqua Babies" and they supply the smaller Hymenochirus type frogs (usually H boettgeri or H curtipes). These are peaceful and...
I had a look and the ones I have are the first one Hymenochirus boettgeri. I might be getting the size wrong since i'v never stuck a ruler beside them but...
Hi Tian I keep my Hymenochirus frogs on their own so I havn't watched them with fish, but I know alot of people do keep them with fish. I had thought that...

Hello Everyone I just bought my first frog this week and he's great. I have visited many websites and found conflicting information, so I was wondering if...
Hello Everyone: I'm a new ADF owner (6 days now) and I'm writing to inform other new ADF owners about housing Betta's and ADF's together. Despite what pet shop...
Hey I've had conflicting info on water changes (that I forgot to include in my last post). I have heard that you should not do a 100% water change at any point...
I am the proud owner of 14 African Dwarf Frogs and 8 Bettas. Each one of my tanks has 1 betta in it along with other fish and 3 of the tanks also have African...
It depends on what you have in the tank. ADF's are REALLY messy. I have 6 in a 10 gallon with a Betta and I changed 25 percent of the water twice a week. If...
ADF's are air breathers, they come up to the top of the tank to take in air. The air stone might not be necessary because of that. The 2 gallon is too small to...
I had an ADF for 3 months. He just keeled this weekend while I was out of town. He had been floating on the surface ALOT the week prior. Water was at 71...
