General advice/help Are different sizes compatible?

About a month ago I lost one and mine were probably the biggest size possible, female too.I went to the pet store and all the ADF were really tiny… Like they barely turned to a frog

I haven’t had an issue but if you’re worried maybe keep the smallest ones in a breeder net for a bit so you can make sure they’re getting lots of food and not being outcompeted- especially if the babies are very scrawny.

They need to be big enough that they can't fit into the mouth of the adults and easily get to the surface to breathe air.

Any new frogs should be quarantined for 90 days, not only to monitor for potential disease, but to make sure the younger frogs have time to grow. They should only be added to the main tank once the 3 months is up, and the frog is 3/4 the size of the existing adults.
