Is African dwarf frog easy to keep?

[artgirl77]

i love these guys...im sad when i see the tiny containers they are sold with...the people telling buyers they will live for years in less than a pot of water....anyway i recommend them as i have three now. but have been happy to have raised tadpoles to froglets. around 9..sadly i went to college and they were poisioned with a fish chemical by my mother...yes im still heart broken and mad....

anyway..i have two males and one female...they are not easy to keep the babies going...as they amit a chemical if there are too many tads in one tank. the water has to be clean, i fed them fish brine 4 -5 times daily, i had to use coffe filters to rinse the brine shrimp (salt) i didnt put any rocks or anything since i was cleaning the tank everyday...i used a turkey baster to collect the eggs and move the tads around....leaving the eggs with mom and dad they eat them....in its simple form...not for faint of heart almost a full time job...out of 19 babies i raised 5 into full frogs...rest in peace fartina (mom and my first frog), jim jim (dad and my second frog),urve, and polaroid the kids......the others are still happy in tanks of my friends...



if they have the right amount of space and are a good temp..they are fed well, not with fish who steal their food....they can be awasome little pets. good luck if you choose them...when i get a new frog i read everything i can, but be careful some of the info is misleading....pretty much anything i was told at a big chain pet store has been awful.
