Yes, African dwarf frogs have been known to jump out of tanks, so it is important to have a secure lid on their tank to prevent them from escaping.

Can you keep a certain type of frog in with Bettas?

In larger (10+ gallon) well furnished tanks, some people have successfully kept African Dwarf Frogs with bettas. These very small frogs grow no larger than the fish. However, great care must be taken to ensure that both the betta and the frogs are appropriately fed. Also, some bettas will bully the frogs and are not appropriate tankmates. If you do want to attempt a betta/frogs setup, make sure your frogs are African Dwarf Frogs and not African Clawed Frogs; the much larger and more aggressive African Clawed Frog will probably eat your betta.


Do frogs like cold or warm water?

It completely depends on what frogs you're talking about. Common frogs (the kind you find in your garden pond) are coldwater frogs but most other aquarium frogs (especially fully aquatic ones) prefer warmer water. African dwarf frogs have been noted as warm water lovers but others have kept them in coldwater tanks quite happily. Toads generally are better off cool and moist and tropical tree frogs prefer things humid (i.e. warm and moist). Do some research on the species as that's the only way you'll know! cold.

Can angelfish eat African dwarf frogs?

I have had 2 angels with ADF's for years. They are quite compatible. Please make sure you give the ADF a place to hide, though. They love to hide under rocks but I have an aquarium decoration just for them. I also try to keep no pebbles under the decoration because the ADF prefer smooth surfaces. There are some causes for concern. Firstly, the water requirements for Angels and ADF's differ. However if you keep the water clean and at 78 deg F, it should be fine. Also, Angels like tall tanks due to their anatomy and frogs like shallow tanks because they have to go to the top of the tank regularly to breed. make sure the tank is less than 18 inches in height which will be a nice 'golden mean' for these two species.


Can an African dwarf frog be with guppies?

NO! Frogs poison the water with their poo and piddle. The fish can not live in that stuff. Frogs (and all Amphibians ) should be housed in a Vivarium not an Aquarium. The rules for keeping fish are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water but more is better. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.Follow the rules and you stand a chance of keeping fish successfully. Miss out on any of them, and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems. This is not correct. African dwarf frogs emit very little waste. They are very small and can live peacefully with tetras and snails absolutely.

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


Can newts live with frogs in the same tank?

Yes. As far as I know they can live together in ponds, so why not in tanks?


Can you put tap water in frog tanks?

Of course. You should always read about your frog type before attempting to, but frogs can survive with tap water.


Care for African dwarf frogs?

The frogs need natural spring water to live. Water cooler water is NOT for frogs. It can have high levles of clorene in it. Botteled water is premitted. They need at least on snail because they are very dirty. They need a special type of gravel that helps keep the tank clean called living gravel. The frogs like rocks and plants. They love to play so you need at least a four inched tank. They eat moving things and non-living things. They stare at their food for awhile. I would sugjest dried up shrimp for their food. Usally ones that were caught in the wild eat 2 times a day. some eat two times a week. The frogs are small and never out-grow their tanks. If their is eggs layed by the females you need to separate the eggs into another tank emmedity because other frogs in the tank might think that the eggs are food and eat them. When they hatch keep them in the tank for one more day and then put them back in the tank with the other ones with a small scooping net. Be carful. They can jump out of the net and hop away. The frogs can last a couple of minutes on land or else they will die so cover the net with your hand. You will love your frogs.


Can frogs live in saltwater tanks?

If you mean a salt water tank containing only salt water, then the frogs will most definitely die. Frogs are amphibious and need dry land too so they should be housed in a vivarium. If they come from the wet tropics they will also need a hot globe/tube and fresh water.
