African Dwarf Frog
African Dwarf frogs are great for small to medium sized aquariums. There are 5 things you need to be careful of when caring for these. The first is you must make sure that they can't jump out of the tank, they are completely aquatic and if they get out of the tank they will quickly die. Second, do not keep fish larger than 3 inches with them as they can become a quick lunch. Third, you must feed them live or frozen worms twice a week. They won't eat anything else. Fourth, be very careful that your filter intakes are screened if kept in a tank with power filters. They can easily get a leg or arm sucked in and can drown. I only put frogs in tanks with undergravel filters. And finally, give the little guys a plce to hide, they'll appreciate it.
