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...
I'm not the best for remembering scientific names of things but i have three african dwarfs, none over the size of 2inches are these what you mean? ... From:...
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...
There was one bottom feeder which i knew was a problem as soon as the first feed came about but it was too late by then. i cant remember the rest but they were...

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...
If there were no noticible diseases or conditions it sounds like you had too many aquatics in that tank. Good rule of thumb is never house anything in a tank...
Hey Everyone This is just an update ...My new and (first)ADF "Tutu" (african for "cliff dweller" because he likes to climb all over his cave in his tank)is...

Hi Shannon, Gosh, I remember my first tank and feeling this way. Hang in there and you
will figure this all out. I think the first thing would be to find a...
I was at PetSmart and they only had young ADFs available. Would my adult ADF eat the smaller ones? They are about half his size. I have a 5 gallon tank...
Hey Guys I'm just writing to thank-you for all the advise you have given me. I finally have a handle on the tank workings and my ADF's and I have recently...
Hi holly, Your juvenille should probably be fine with your adult just as long as you keep them well fed and provide ample hiding spaces. If they get the...
Mine did that when food was around. The younger finally died. The big one is doing well. Instead of raising black worms, we just buy these packets of worms in...
Okay, I am considering getting an african dwarf frog- and have lots of questions. Everything I seem to find online is all contradicting! Anyways, bear with me!...
That is what I was wondering about! I keep reading contradicting things about bettas and frogs. Guess it depends on the participants! ... one ... when I ... ...
