I have a pair of Xenopus muelleri, which are doing well (my brother has had them for over a year, I am now keeping them). They were rescued from a petshop to which they had been given by previous owners who realised that Xenopus do not make good tropical fish tank animals.
The male, smaller than the female, has been calling frequently and the female is very plump.

Does anyone have any specific information about any way in which their ideal care may differ from X. laevis, or on how to trigger amplexus and breeding?

The animals are at about 23-24 deg. C in clean, reasonably soft, neutral water. They are fed earthworms and occasionaly other invertebrates and, needless to say, both feed very well. They have recently been moved from a harder water area, but seem to have settled down well (based on feeding, calling and other behaviours). The aquarium is in a quiet area of the house where they are only disturbed for feeding and cleaning.

Thanks

Why... Is it common for an ADF to sit outside of the water for long periods of time or is this a sign that there is something wrong with the set up?

Why I ask, I have an ADF in a 5 gallon tank and have noticed that he will sit above the filter I have in the tank with most of his body out of the water and he will remain in this positon for at least 20 minutes.

Just a Question. He still eats and does not seem stressed just odd behavior. ]]> Aquatic Clawed Frogs AmandaChau http://www.frogforum.net/aquatic-clawed-frogs/4059-african-dwarf-frog.html http://www.frogforum.net/aquatic-clawed-frogs/3981-aquatic-tank.html Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:30:31 GMT I'm wanting to set up the tomatoes but I also want an aquatic tank. I think I can manage aquatic before I can get the tomato tank setup.

In hopes Petco does another tank sale, I want to get a 14 or 28 gallon biocube.

I would like to put 3-5 African dwarf frogs in there with a few fish. What suggestions do you guts have for peaceful fish that won't bother the frogs and that the frogs won't bother.

I want to set this up with real plants and a little natural looking.

I'm looking for any ideas. ]]> Aquatic Clawed Frogs goreptiles http://www.frogforum.net/aquatic-clawed-frogs/3981-aquatic-tank.html http://www.frogforum.net/aquatic-clawed-frogs/3923-tank-size.html Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:00:16 GMT I have an african clawed frog (not the drawf), currently he is in a 10g tank but iam setting up a planted 175g bow that will be heavily populated... I have an african clawed frog (not the drawf), currently he is in a 10g tank but iam setting up a planted 175g bow that will be heavily populated with live bearers such as guppies,mollies,platties and sword tails and i would like to keep my frog in this tank..i know he will eat the fry(thats what he did in the pet store i got him from)..my question is the tank is 29" tall so will that be to deep of swim for him to acess air easily or not????
