African Dwarf Frogs

[alexrjohnson]

okay 2 gallon tank, how many african dwarf frogs can I put in there at most. I am fine with changing the water every other day. My sister has 3 in hers, and they seem to be okay. I know about the one inch per fish rule but if I change it often will I get away with having a few?

you can "have" 3 if you do change water everyday.. they stay relatively small and get up to about an inch or so

i just got one today. what do they eat btw? anybody help me out?

i have him housed in a 10g with tetras and guppies. he seems to be doing fine. im sure 3 in a 2g would be ok too.

omg, I didnt know they were real frogs, I thought they were a type of fish!

Do they need to come to the surface, or do you have the water filled to the top?

Never seen them in australia..

^^ they come up for air.

3 ADFs in a 2g is fine. They eat any food on the bottom of the tank - you can get away with catfish/shrimp pellets some of the time, but it is best to give them live or frozen food, particularly bloodworms. Make sure you feed enough so that the fish don't eat it all. they will snap at fish, but never do damage.

thanks. i have 3 in my tank right now. lots of little hiding places for them too under the rocks. water gets dirty to where i have to change it about every other day, but its not a hassle cuz theyre fun little guys to watch. they are definately more active with other dwarf frogs than when i had one with a betta.
