How do dwarf african frogs mate?

Answer 1

The male is a lot darker with the spots then a female, and a female is a lot lighter with the spots. The male is 20% smaller that the female due to the females egg laying. Females are also much heavier.

Answer 2

The dwarf African frog mate by performing a type of mating dance. They latch on to each other and then do flips together while swimming to the surface of the water. The female releases her eggs in to the water and then the male releases his sperm in to the water. They do this over and over for hours at a time.

Answer 3

I have a 2-year-old African dwarf frog who lets me know when she's hungry by standing up on her back legs next to the glass and staring at me. She has had a mate until a short time ago when he died suddenly. For a couple weeks, she had little or no appetite. The bits of food I left her developed clouds of mold around them. She hid in her little cave and didn't come out. It seemed she would eat just enough to keep from starving to death. I was worried she would die too. But finally she got over it and started swimming around looking happy again and asking for food. Two nights ago I sat down next to her aquarium, thinking she might be lonely. She came over to the glass and stood up, looking right into my eyes. She was very animated. She followed me when I moved, and just kept looking into my eyes, sometimes opening and closing her mouth like she was trying to say something. My husband and neighbor were watching me talking to her for a long time, and they couldn't believe it. She just seemed to need to express herself to someone. She did the same thing the next night, but tonight she's just in her cave sleeping again. I guess she said what she needed to say.

Answer 4

Dwarf African frogs typically mate through amplexus, where the male grasps the female from behind in a mating embrace. The female then releases her eggs, which the male fertilizes externally. The fertilized eggs stick to plants or surfaces until they hatch into tadpoles.

Answer 5

They stay in one place in the water.

Answer 6

Males are usually smaller than females.

Answer 7

Males have a gland under their armpit.
