I might get a few for my empty(except for a few fry) 10g, and wanted to kow as much about them as possible.
I won't be getting them for a few weeks if I do.
What do they like?
I know the ones at my LFS like bloodworms, BS, and flakes, anything else?

Thawed/live worms are usually all you can get them to eat. Some will take pellets, but it isn't commonplace.

I've heard that before, that's why I was surprised at them eating those things.. I just got a bunch of live blackworms and have mosquito larvae and some other larvae(forgot the name).
I don't think they can eat the adult blackworms, can they?

My ADFs can eat a huge pinch of bloodworms at a time. I don't think 1 adult sized bloodworm would even fill him up. Go for a pinch of bloodworms each every 2 days.

Alrighty, I may be going to a LFS tomorrow, and I'll check out their albino ADFs.

Beware, the albino's are usually ACF's (african clawed frogs) which get pretty large and will eat most smaller fish. ADF's stay about an inchish and are very docile and are usually brownish in color.

I don't mind getting an ACF, that would give me a reason to set up another tank :idea:
I almost got an adult albino ACF that was in NC... but I didn't want to risk him dying on the trip home.

I have him in a net to keep him away my fry for a while.
