So I have three of these guys in my 55 and have been doing great...one in particular. I've had them for a few months now, and I got two at the same time, but one got HUGEEEEEE. I feed regular tetramis, dried blood worms and algae wafers. This frog literally takes a whole wafer in his moutth and swims away with it.

None of tem have any problem getting to the top and never had any escape attempts, clearly they seem to be doing pretty well lol Anyone else have experience with these guys, or know any background on the species. I dont think hes an african drawf. That would be an oxymoron
 
Sounds like an African Clawed Frog instead of an ADF. They look nearly identical when young, where the ADF stays small, the Clawed gets pretty massive. One easy way to tell- clawed frogs have no webbing on their front feet where as the dwarfs do. If you do in fact have both species,you may one to consider rehoming or at least rehousing one of them, as ACF have been known to eat ADF..
 
Alright guys, I just took a few now, hes gotten so much bigger lately.

Here he is:

For comparison this is him sitting on my ADF:

And one last one. Hes such a chunker lol:

Keep an eye on him. I hear they get big enough to eat fish, and it sound like he is well on his way.
 
I'd separate the ADF from your chunker there before he's made into a snack.
 
Yea. He's getting pretty aggressive with the food. My 30 gallon jut cycled. My plan is to move my 2 pictus into that and I can move him in first. I put a wafer in to get his out of hiding for the picture. He's just swimming around the tank with it in his mouth lol
 
That smaller one he's sitting on is also an ACF not a dwarf. That doesn't mean the big guy wont eat him though
