African Clawed Frogs.

[Alix]

i have a adf in a well planted 5gal with ghost shrimp an ALOTS of plants an i was thinking about getting a african clawed frog an was wondering the tank size an how much should be covered in plants or not so much or what? pics would be cool to

arrgh no the african clawed frog is a vicious predator and will eat its tankmates it also grows big and needs a bigger tank

An ACF, for a while, could be fine in a 5gallon tank but he will eventually need at least a 10 gallon and even larger would be nice. No tankmates except other ACFs of the same size and plants are probably a waste of time since they like to dig up everything.

Since you have a 20gallon, I would reccomend some Clawed Frogs for it, they, IMHO, are much more rewarding than ADFS since you can watch them grow and seem to live much longer.

i went to walmart with my step bro today an they had some albino claw frogs...one was tiny, the other 3 were...about an inch an a half long(only counting body) an they keep them in them tiny betta cups...so sad.

Im no good with these Gallon sizes ) but i keep my ACfs in a 3ft tank and i have bred them a few times and i would never put any other living thing in with them because they would either swallow them whole or have a good try at swallowing them
