    Default New Aquatic Clawed Frogs

    I have recently been given 2 aquatic clawed frogs (my son's 3rd grade teacher thought it would be a good idea since his died over 3 years ago) n/e ways. I have them currently living in a 10 gallon tank. They are about inch, inch/half in length, just little guys. My question is - Can I move them into a 75 gallon tank or are they too small? There is currently noting in the tank.

    Thank you for your help with this matter

    Big tanks are always superior to smaller tanks because the water parameters are just much more stable when you are dealing with a larger volume of water.

    I've personally never had an issue with my african clawed frogs surfacing for air no matter what depth I've kept them at, from small froglets to adults. 75 gallon tanks are only 18" tall, I would drop the water level to 14" but only to prevent escapes and allow space to surface for air, these frogs are superb swimmers (and escapers!)

    If you are able to add floating plants, they will enjoy basking in them too.

    Thank you, I will work on getting them in the bigger tank.

    What type of floating plants would you recommend?

    Water Sprite or Wisteria are favorites of my frogs, both are very easy to grow.
