Hi,

ADFs are generally sold as congo frogs but check the ID in the pinned topic at the top. I personally keep mine seperate from my fish as they would starve. They are a bit stupid when it comes to food and it needs to be put directly in front of them or they will miss it, they wouldn't stand a chance with my fish. They would probably be ok in a community if you have an external filter that won't break their legs, small fish that won't eat them and if you are willing to feed them with a turkey baster. If you search the forum you'll find loads of info.

Hope this helps

I think they are adorable and just bought some for my 20 gal community tank about a week ago. Right now they are still in a QT tank with cories. They seem to be doing fine eating on their own. When they smell food they come out of their hiding spot and chow down. I was prepared to be squirting bloodworms at them with a turkey baster but have not had to yet. Will see how it goes when I put them in their new home. My frogs were $4.99 each.

Congrats on the new frogs. Enjoy!
