You probably could do two adf and only that in a 2.5 gallon. I have kept mine in a 5 gallon before and that was fine. so yea they will probably be ok if its just them but still more room would be nice but wtvr u want.
that would be cool, make sure you provide plenty of hiding spaces as they dont just sit out in the open unless they are looking for food. They make these little bridges for aquariums that are like 2 dollars. These are perfect because they are just small enough for the frog to fit under. Good luck they are so cute and so much fun!
These guys are very small with a 5 gallon I would say no more than 3 maybe 4. It will be very hard for you to sex them before you buy, but the males have a small "pimple"behind their front arms. It is a white bump. If you look around there is more info on that on this site. doesnt really matter though unless you really are trying to breed them (which can be done). they are very peaceful. Make sure that you look at their front "feet" and make sure they are webbed. if they are claws without webbing it is a african clawed frog and that will get big and aggressive. One last thing make sure you pick up some frozen bloodworms to feed them every other day or so...you really do need to feed them these instead of pellets or flake food, i thought it was gross at first but it just looks like red ice cubes and u just drop one in the tank. Plus they go nuts for them and will love u for it by being healthy! hope that helps sorry it is so long...let me know how its goin..
I make it sound way too hard.Twice a week should be ok, in the wild they dont get to eat everyday, just make sure he doesnt look starved but i would say your fine. As for taking him out, i really wouldnt. First it is very stressful to net him and he/she will dry out very very quickly and die. I just wouldnt do it. If you watch the tank for long enough you will be able to tell when they come close to you. like i said the males have the bump and tend to be smaller. The females have a small bump where a tail would be between their back legs. Oh, I think i forgot to tell you....Adf males will sing when ready to mate!! its pretty cool to listen to.AND adf shed their skin about once a week, it is halarious to watch and they eat it when theyre done!! (what a helathy meal). Good luck and let me know whats goin on
They have to reach sexual maturity before they can mate just like any other animal, they wont always sing so its not like you are waiting for that. i think sexual maturity is like 8 months so by the time you buy them from the petstore they will be very close if not already sexual mature. Dont worry they will mate, the male will clinch onto the the fmeales back and do it "froggy" style. she does all the swimming while he does nothing
you will soon have little eggs.
