they are really tiny, so tiny in fact hat if yo see any you would need to separate them from the tank immediately if you have any other fish in there otherwise they will mistake them for food.

∙ 10y agoThe African dwarf frog is a completely aquatic frog; it will need an aquarium as its habitat - a 5 or 10 gallon aquarium so that it has plenty of room to swim. You can buy a tadpole through a mail-order supplier of exotic pets, but be careful to buy an African dwarf frog, rather than an African clawed frog which will grow to be much larger, and eventually will require its own 20-gallon aquarium. To purchase an adult African dwarf frog, visit your nearest independent pet store or a local dealer in aquarium pet supplies.

How long can a African dwarf frog hold its breath?
10-15 minutes
Why are African dwarf frogs aquatic?
No. For one, you have harmful oils on your skin that would irritate and harm your frog. For another, you can very easily break their bones or kill them in your attempts to hold them. For another, they don't like being held, they're wild animals. They're much more fun to watch, anyways. Yes,you can. You just have to be very careful! I have some and it is very hard to hold them because they are most likely to jump out of your hand and start hopping away and if you don't put them back in time they will die. But, you really shouldn't hold them.
Can you hold a Dwarf frog out of the water?
African Dwarf Frogs, though able to come out of water, can't live without H20. Their skin dehydrates very quickly and the frog can become serously stressed out if it's out of water. It's best to leave the frog(s) in the tank instead of trying to handle them.
Can you hold Brookstone frogs?
Yes, you can hold what's being called the Brookstone frog. But it's important to be careful. The frog may be a carrier of Salmonella.The frog's name actually is African dwarf frog [Hymenochirus spp]. But it's being called the Brookstone frog has immediate name recognition. That's due to the advertising efficacy of one of its major sellers.
Does it kill tree frogs if you hold it?
no, not tree frogs, but some other frogs can be like that
Do goldfish eat frog eggs that are laid in their pond?
Generally speaking No. Frogs mainly feed on insects. However during the mating season frog and toads can attempt to mate with fish, or virtually anything that is available and they can grasp hold of a fish for this reason.
Would you be able to get 2 African dwarf frogs 2 shrimp and 2 apple in a 5 gallon tank?
A 5 gallon tank will only hold about 4 and a bit gallons of water. It is not big enough to keep all the creatures you have mentioned let alone more. The 2 shrimp would probably be the first to die followed by one of the frogs and then the other. The snails will probably last the longest.
What type of dwarf hamster is the best to hold and play with?

Can you hold dwarf hamsters when there pregnant?

Does mushroom grow when frogs pee?
Yup. Sure do. So do toads. Catch one and hold it in your hand. You'll see. Been there, done that, got peed on.
How many pellets should I feed my two African dwarf frogs?
Tank care of African Dwarf Frogs is very simple. Please allow one gallon of water per frog. They are not very messy and they don't produce a lot of waste but their food tends to foul up the water more then they do. They do not need a heater as long as the water doesn't drop below 70. I keep my dwarf tank at 75 and they are happy and healthy. Don't put them in very high and deep tanks. They aren't the best swimmers and it would be stressful on them to be straining to reach air.Substrate can be bare bottom or aquarium gravel. Bare bottom is the easiest to keep clean. Use a turkey baster to remove waste and uneaten food off the bottom. You can lay a black or brown (or any color) cloth underneath the tank to make it look more natural and secure for the frogs. Aquarium gravel gives a more natural and realistic look. But you will need to clean it every two weeks. DO NOT use large marbles, river stones, etc with the dwarf frog. They can easily get wedged underneath a large stone or marble and not be able to reach air or get crushed. Sand can also be used and works quite well with dwarf frogs. They are too small to stir it up enough to clog a filter impellar. Although they can ingest large amounts of it during feeding. If this happens place a small plate in the tank and place all food on this plate. This also teaches the frogs to go to the plate for food.Plants offer a natural environment and a sense of security for dwarf frogs. Fake or real plants can be used. If using fake plants i would stick to silk plants because plastic plants can scrach dwarf frogs. Dwarf frogs can be kept with any type of living plant. They are not destructive towards even the finest of the aquarium plants. The smaller types of anubias plants work really well with dwarf frogs. anubias nana has broad thick leaves that offer great hiding places for dwarf frogs.Hiding Places are a must for dwarf frogs. They are shy creatures and like a wide variety of places to retreat too. Small terra cotta pots turned on their sides look beautiful in a natural tank. They love thick clumps of anubias nana to hide in. Anything that a little dwarf frog can get into will make a great hiding place. A majority of the aquarium decorations being sold today double as some sort of cave or hiding area.Filtration keeps the water clean but a filter is not needed. In small tanks (3 gallons and smaller) i would not use a filter. Most small tanks that size come with internal filters powered by an airstone. This is a bad idea for dwarf frogs since they are sensitive to water vibrations. I would discard the internal filter and just do weekly water changes. In tanks larger then 3 gallons i would use a Whisper powerfilter. It is the quietest of all hanging filters and has least amount of surface disturbance. There is no need to overfilter if you tank is just dedicated to dwarfs (or the occasional snail or algae eater).Lighting is optional as well. You can use flourescent, incandescent or none at all. But do turn out the lights for them at night, keeping lights on 24 hours is very unnatural and unsettling for them. It also encourages rapid algae growth.African Dwarf frogs can be kept in a wide range of pH's. I keep my dwarf frog tank at a neutral pH of 7.0-7.2. Weekly water changes should be done to ensure clean water.African Dwarf Frog TankIdeal environment for Dwarf frogs (gravel, silk plants, hiding areas)Bare bottom "Kritter-Keeper"This setup is easy to maintain and dwarfs thriveGreat Hiding Place IdeaTerra cotta pots "dwarf size" cost only cents at your local craft storeTerra cotta pots for hiding spotsDwarf Frogs love themFeeding RequirementsThe best way to feed African Dwarf Frogs is on a small terra cotta plate (you can tiny ones at any craft store for about 50 cents, they are ment to go under the small terra cotta pots) if you are using gravel in their tank. The food gets lost easily in the gravel and these frogs don't do much foraging for their food (if it isn't in front of their face, chances are they wont find it). I place their food in a small bowl of water, I then draw it up in a turkey baster and then squirt it out slowly onto the small plate in the tank. This way they are able to find the food much easier can fill themselves up.African Dwarf frogs thrive on a varied diet of live, frozen, freeze dried and pelleted food. Specially formulated pelleted food contains all the vitamins and minerals they need to grow healthy and happy, this should be fed as their staple diet.Types Of FoodLive guppy fry : or any type of livebearer fryFrozen or Freeze Dried BrineshrimpFrozen or Freeze Dried Bloodworms or GlasswormsHBH Frog and Tadpole BitesReptominGammarusFrozen BeefheartFrozen or Freeze dried krill or baby shrmpEarthworms or nightcrawlers choped into small bite sized piecesAfrican Dwarf Frogs can eat just about all the foods that African Clawed Frogs will eat, except in small quantities and pieces.More Methods of FeedingYou can just drop the food in the tank. The frogs will pick up the sent of the food and begin to search for it. Routine is key to feeding this way. Put the food in the same spot everytime and tap on the glass a little. Soon the frogs will go to the same spot everytime when its feeding time. When the feel the taping they will associate it with food. They do not have aggressive appetites like the African Clawed Frog does, so sometimes they may miss the food you put in the tank altogether.Hand feeding is a much easier way to feed African Dwarf Frogs. Just hold the food in your fingers and feed it to the frog. If they get scared and swim away just follow them, eventually the sent of food will be too tempting. This way you know all the frogs are eating and finding the food. It also makes them super friendly and not shy of people! My dwarfs come to the front of the glass whenever they see my face since i started handfeeding them.Using a turkey baster is also a fun way of feeding them without getting your arm wet. Draw their food up and squeeze it out slowly right above their heads. Pretty soon they will go straight to the tip of the turkey baster for food.Dwarf frogs eating bloodworms
