African Dwarf Frog or Clawed Frog?

[Derek1111]

2 of these were sold to me as African Dwarf Frogs, I felt like they were a little big to be Dwarf Frogs but took their word for it. I have this worry I have Clawed frogs which I heard could be aggressive. I know these pics are bad but can anyone tell by looking at them?

My dad said he saw one of them swim after a guppy.

I also noticed that they can see food, I thought Dwarf Frogs had poor eyesight.

If they are clawed frogs, can they go with guppies, corey cats and harlequin rasboras?

Looks like an ADF to me. At this size they don't pose a threat even if they are clawed frogs, which I doubt. If your frog grows larger than 1.5 inches then it is a clawed frog. I think you're in the clear.

The are ADF, clawed frogs are very different.
ADF are not blind, but are near sighted.

Ok, thanks.

I read an article that says the best way to tell is by looking at the eyes. ADF have flatter eyes whereas the Clawed Frog's eyes "bug out". When I get home i'll check, these pics are no good for seeing that. Thanks again all.

Check fro webbing between the fingers on the front. Clawed frogs have very little, while ADF have nearly full webbing. Clawed frogs are also more an inverted V shape when viewed from above (pointy nose, broadening towards their bottom) while ADF are slender bodied.

They do look a bit big to be African dwarf where did you get them?

Yea, they do look big, don't they? I've analyzed their eyes though, they are definitely ADFs.

Got them at Pet Supplies Plus - Columbus Oh.

How do you feed these frogs if you have fish in the tank?

I do remember attempting to keep them in my community 10g tank as a child. It didn't last long.

I have not succeeded in feeding them in a tank with fishes either.
