African Dwarf Frog....

[AtomicPleco]

Hi got a problem i have had a couple dwarf frogs before just the normal dark ones..But today they had white ones in with the normal ones at my LFS so i bought one after looking them up i cant find anything on white african DWARF frogs and that it must be a clawed frog..Is it going to start ripping apart all my fish? dont want to wake up to my pleco and all the other frogs gone. its still real small...My question is just are there white DWARF frogs? or was i sold a clawed frog...

Check the webbing on the hands - - if on the front and back, dwarf. if only on the back, clawed.

There have been a few ADF that are pale/whiter popping up - still not dominant in the pet store trade.

If you have an ACF then you have two options. 1) return it. 2) buy a 10 gallon tank for it and house it separately.

ACF grow fast. They will eat ADF and fish.

Thanks for the info...Just have to wait for him to come out of hideing!...Is it common for fish stores to sell them togeather? they had about 50-75 in one tank some bright white others verry dark and sold under the name African Dwarf frog but he was pretty darn white..Havent seen him in hours though:l hopefully hes not in hideing slaying my other fish

depending on what types of fish - you can't really blame the frog if he does eat them. In the future, please make sure you know what you are buying!
