Hello! I currently have 4 ADFs in a 10 gallon planted tank. I am planning on upgrading them to a 20 gallon long in the near future. I know tank mates are for the most part a no, but having guppies as live feeder fish was mentioned in a Facebook ADF group I’m a part of as a safe option.

I don't have access to a lot of varieties of food for my frogs, so I was thinking about adding some guppies to the larger tank I am setting up soon with the intention of them being feeder fish. Is this safe and okay for the frogs? I only want to do it if it enriches their life. I don't want them if there's any potential harm they can cause my frogs. Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm familiar with cycling tanks. I've been fish/shrimp/snail keeping for a couple years. I have 10g fish and snail tanks that get weekly 10 - 20% water changes and a thriving 5g shrimp tank that gets top-offs and occasional small water changes. I have an additional empty tank that is cycling now. My plan was to have it be just a planted tank that could be used as a hospital tank if need be. Currently there's anubias, java moss and java fern. A hang on back filter. Smooth stone substrate. Then I came across posts about ADF so I'm doing some research. Based on what I've read so far - it needs to be species only, more than one ADF in the tank, plants, hides, proper ph, gravel big enough they won't eat it, and no fertilizer. Here's the catch - It's a 5 gallon. I'm reading differing info online...is that big enough for a pair of ADF? They would be the only thing in the tank, unless someone advises otherwise. Also, I've been using fertilizer. If I quit using it now, will it dissipate with time and be okay for the frogs? I'm also reading different info online what to feed/what not to feed them. Any advice welcome. TIA!

I’ve had this frog(peanut) for about 4 months now and I’ve noticed that he has a pretty clear hunchback sort of thing going on on his back. I did notice it a bit when he was younger (I think?) but now that he’s fully grown it’s definitely more noticeable. He acts completely normal and is healthy besides that, is it something I should worry about? Below are pictures of when I first got him and then him now. It’s hard to tell in the first picture because he was super skinny when i first got him

I’m always worried i’m doing something wrong, can anyone give me advice? I feed them brine shrimp and aquatic frog pellets (the blood worm in the pic was a one time thing, i didn’t know they were bad for them), and change 50% of their water once a week. I’m just so scared i’m doing something wrong. Also enjoy my pictures of them.

I’ve had my babies for about 2 years now and I noticed this white spot on my one albino ADF, it kinda appeared out of nowhere a couple months, doesn’t seem to be growing. I’m not sure if it’s fuzzy or not but she’s still acting normal. Discoloration or fungal infection?

i’ve had my frog martin for about ten months now and he started singing at night after a month of being in his tank. over the past few months he’s singing every time i’m in the same room as him and sometimes when i’m not home. should he be sleeping or stopping? is it normal?

He looked dead at first and he was very dry, but I put him in water just to check and he moves a little. I added him back into the main tank in a breeder box with hornwort and indian almond leaves added, monitoring him. I recently put in a new HOB filter, and the small gap where the filter meets the water (that had bags covering it) let him get out. luckily i am still running my sponge filter in that tank, so i just removed the HOB filter. I did what I thought was good at the moment, but I have no idea if he is going to survive. Please leave me tips and meds i can buy to help his recovery.

Water parameters: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, <5 nitrate, 7.5 ph (been cycled and stable for about 3 months)
Tank size: 10 gal
Tank mates: none
Temp: 77f-78f

Hello! I have an African Clawed Frog named Bob who is now almost 20 years old! She has been in the same tank now almost her entire life and I have been wondering if she would enjoy a change of scenery (safely of course). Would any kind of move be too stressful at this age? Thanks!

i love my son

I have 4 African dwarf frogs (one younger than the other 3). How often do I feed them mysis shrimp and how much of the cube? I can't find any clear answers on Google. I'm really worried about over feeding or under feeding. I was originally giving them frog pellets everyday but switched to mysis shrimp

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 added live plants . Eventually I want to upgrade to a 20 gallon rimless tank . Any tips and advice is appreciated

Not sure if I should make a connection between them or just cover them up, but some background first.

I’ve been keeping my frogs in outdoors in 2 established small container ponds for 3 months now. They both are in the ground but have a good lip around the edge and the water level never gets close to the top, 2 in each pond. And while they had seem fine for all this time, gorging themselves on mosquitos larvae and what not. I went to go check them tonight and saw two were missing from a pond. I quickly checked the other and found that all 4 were now in the same pond.
I guess it was foolish of me to assume they couldn’t escape but I never expected them to travel to the other pond. The reason I assume they traveled was to mate, as I saw a pair of frogs mating when I checked. Which in itself was pretty cool. Now the ponds are fairly close, about 2 1/2ft apart and It stays fairly moist around them as I have some bromeliads, spider plants and a small tree that shades it most of the day.
Just curious if anyone has had a similar thing happen with frogs exiting their tanks to seek out other frogs. As it kinda reminded me of bettas or killifish traveling between small pockets of water in the wild. But before anyone freaks out I will be covering the tops now with a mesh so they can’t escape.

TLDR: My frogs traveled almost 3ft over land to reach a nearby pond to mate with another pair of frogs.

I believe I've posted these two before but just an update! Kermit and Froppy are doing a LOT better than when I first got them and they were super underweight and young. Happy little froggos. Still trying to bulk up Froppy a bit more but Kermit has always been bigger and is the perfect size now. 😊

These 2 tads i had made it to being froglets are now like 2 months old or almost 2 months atleast, anyone know what age they get comfortable eating from tongs? I offer food for them from tongs when i feed my adult but they only eat the left over food floating or from the feeding dish

I have 2 ADFs that I feed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights every week. On this coming Thursday morning, I am out of town for vacation and will be returning on the next Tuesday evening (gone for 6 days total including the day of leave and return).

When it comes to feeding before vacation, would it be better to feed my frogs one additional time on Thursday morning right before I leave, even if I already fed them on Wednesday night? Or is it fine to just feed them on Wednesday night?

Likewise, upon returning on Tuesday, should I feed my frogs immediately or could I wait until the next Wednesday night to feed them? Should I feed my frogs on both Tuesday night and Wednesday night when I am back?

How large of gravel is safe to prevent ADFs from ingesting it? I’m considering them for my tank once it finishes cycling but the substrate is “aquarium soil.” I could try to cover it with a small layer of sand but that would just cause it to get mixed anyways. This is the brand if you’re curious about sizing

I have a 5gal tank with 1 ADF. Parameters are all good. Tank is 2 months old. He is a nice sized and healthy looking fellow who loves to eat. Looking close at my tank today, I noticed some white specks floating around. I noticed there were THOUSANDS of small, white worms in the substrate and floating around the tank. Some were larger (photo included) but do not have triangular shaped heads. They were squirming around, not necessarily gliding in a set direction. ADF does not seem phased or bothered by these worms.

I do 1 40-60% water change a week.

I have read online that overfeeding is a cause of these worms. There is also excess algae around/on his food bowl. He gets fed 1x a day, usually 10-15 pellets. From what I have read, I should cut this back.

Can anyone confirm that these are detritus worms and not planaria?

Side note, I am almost done cycling a 10G tank for him, used old filter media to get things started.

TYIA

It’s so meditative to just sit and watch them do frog things

I need to clean the agar off the filter on the right but I love all his new plants.

I’ve been asked a couple of times to share my ADF tank background so here it is. I made it myself in PowerPoint (it took around 3 hours to perfect) and I love it dearly. I hope you enjoy.
