    Red face Hello from a possible furure aquatic frog owner!!

    Hi!
    I came here to do a little more research on aquatic frogs. You see, I want one or a couple, depending on which type.
    So, which do you think would be better for me, a beginner: African dwarf frogs or an African Clawed Frog?
    i have a 10 gallon tank to house them/it in, and I'm thinking of getting a simple sponge filter for it. We have fish, but I find them a little boring (when I'm not shopping for them, that is—I love buying fish stuff. Lol). Anyway, are ADFs or ACFs sometes pretty dull like fish are? I mean that with no offense to the fishies, they have thier own great things about them, just can get dull at times when they don't at all respond to you
    Well, thanks for helping, and I'll ask further questions as they come to me!

    This is a good care sheet for them: http://www.frogforum.net/care-sheet-...warf-frog.html. Myself would add quality (Hikari, Sera, etc.) dry food to diet too; but do avoid any freeze dried stuff. Good luck !

    I think ACFs are the best! They are easy to feed and fun to watch. I never had much luck keeping ADFs.
