there are 20 spp. of Xenopus (african clawed frogs). Xenopus laevis (Common Clawed frog)is the most common and usually what is refereed to as the African clawed frog even though its only 1 spp. of clawed frog. This spp has been widely used as a research model as well as pet trade. Although most African Clawed frogs in the wild can be seen as at risk of endangerment, due to the fact that they are very region specific and limited to a small range, I believe only X.gilli (Cape Clawed frog) is officially endangered.
African Clawed frogs have fully webbed toes with small claws on their hind feet, while regular frogs have unwebbed toes. African Clawed frogs lack a visible external eardrum, known as the tympanum, which is present in regular frogs. Additionally, African Clawed frogs tend to have a smoother skin compared to the typically rough skin of regular frogs.
Yes, African clawed frogs are vertebrates. It was actually the first vertebrate to be cloned. The African clawed frog's front legs are small with unwebbed fingers.
You will need a male for that.
No, Albino African Clawed frogs do not have the ability to change gender. They are either male or female from birth and their gender is determined genetically.
The African clawed from female can lay hundreds of eggs at a time. There are times when she will lay them unfertilized and a male may fertilize them later.

people sometimes eat African clawed frogs
African clawed frogs become very big frogs when they reach adulthood. I would say that 2 frogs max would make for a healthy tank.
You will need a male for that.

Sometimes....
they are carivores they eat every thing they can find!

Suitable tank mates for African clawed frogs include peaceful fish like guppies, mollies, and neon tetras, as well as snails and shrimp. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping fish that may harm the frogs.

Most of them are African clawed frogs (Pipidae Xenopus laevis)--so search for the requirement of this species
