very nice tank, im looking to keep Hymenochirus sp. Frogs, all the ones in my lfs are very small and look very unhealthy though :( They told me that they all come in looking that way, so its not worth asking them to order me some in, I cant find anywhere else selling them at the moment.
 
Are they clawed or dwarf frogs? They look a little different color-wise than my little dwarf frogs.
They're super cute though. I love my little guys.

They look like Dwarf Frogs, Hymenochirus sp, they can vary a bit in colour, and skin texture, theres two species thats imported for the pet trade into the UK, Hymenochirus boettgeri and Hymenochirus curtipes, and possibly a hybrid of those two species. The difference between boettgeri and curtipes is that curtipes are larger than boetgeri, have wartier skin, and usually a distinctly different pattern, but as I mentioned the pattern and skin colour in them can vary.

Wow Kevin, you're a wealth of froggy info! :D Mine look a lot less smooth than the OP's and the color is a bit different too.
Thanks for the info. :nod:

Yours might be Hymenochirus curtipes then, theres a good article on the two species here http://aquaticfrogs.tripod.com/id19.html
 
I just found that link last night! Thanks for sharing it though, it does have quite a bit of info.
