Those are the 3 types of most common frogs found in pet stores. Which one do you have?
Once we figure out which frog you have we can help you figure out what to do next!

african dwarf frog is what i have and i would like for it to live i heard they are hard to feed at first just cause its strange but they are swimming fine and all and i checked to make sure they have webbed front and they do so thats good thing too and need help to get it to eat

I have had them for many ages and never had a problem with getting them to eat. However I have only ever kept mine in a 20gallon long or 10gallon tank. I have never had a problem with them getting food.

I feed mine HBH Frog and Tadple bites. He loves it and is able to get it because it gets in the gravel where the fish don't notcice because I feed them their flakes at the same time. I often try to aim the pellets in his area.

Good Luck!

ive attempted putting hte shrimp pellets in his area .. thats what lsf same one was feeding them and they have been there for 3 weeks and they dont look so skinny either so thast why i was concerned i dont see them eating it either one i have 2 but hey hang out on the top alot but heat is at 77, checked the water its fine even the ph level is fine so i have no idea why they wont eat

Maybe try some freeze dried bloodworms. Since you say they hang around the top, maybe they'd pick that food up.

I put some live bloodworms in with mine. He loves them, but ... urgh, you should see him eat!
