I bought 2 frogs that were labeled as albino dwarf..being new to the hobby i thought cool. Low and behold when i came home and did research i found out they can grow as big as my fist :eek: I'll b getting them a new tank of thier own. I was wondering if anyone had these? and if so tips!!!!:)
 
I used to own an African Clawed Frog for about 6 years, then he died. I bought him with two dwarf frogs. The next morning he ate both of them. I had him in a 55 gallon tank with many convicts. He didnt bother them at all. Make sure your tank is big and has tightly closed lids... they go to the top to get air and do it really fast. Mine jumped out a couple times. They are very hardy and fun to watch. Mine got to about 6 inches. Have fun with your new frogs.
 
they love to eat raw fish, beef heart, basicaly anything meaty. and I think you'd need a 20g to house two comfortably.
 
You sure they are african clawed frogs and not african dwarf frogs (as they were labeled)? I've seen both in albino.. If he is really small.. then its probably a dwarf frogs, most of the younger african clawed i've seen were already like 1.5 inches.
 
I also dont agree that dwarf frogs can come albino. And I would not keep two of those albino frogs in a 20 G for long, that is too small. I would go with 40G if not 55G.
 
I've Got two 5 inch ACF's. Ones colored and ones albino. They are fantastic. They love feeders and night crawlers. I hand feed mine. I lightly knock on the glass where i'm dangling the live food two or three times, and both come from where ever they are hiding to eat. They breed quite prolifically as well.
