New ACF owner

[Tori Savage]

I'm sure some of you have already read some of my posts, and that I have a few different species of frogs. Well, this frog, as well as a hexagon tank, filter and catfish was given to me not long after I had to euthanize one of my other frogs. She said he eats feeder fish only. Anyone have some pointers to give out??? The frog doesn't seem to mind the catfish or vise versa. They seem pretty happy together. Right now, their tank is bare. Any advice will be welcomed! Thanks guys!

Meet Ghost! In one of his pics, it shows a white spot on his belly. Previous owner said it was a scar from an injury from tank decor. Also, a pic shows black underneath its front arms. She said he does this when hes ready to shed. Also, I really don't know if it's the filer, or the frog. But I have noticed a sound like a vibrating object placed on a hard surface. Is this the frog?

Your frog is a male and will call from time to time when he is in the mood for love lol, they can be quite noisy and though my hearing is very poor they have woken me up when i have been sleeping in the same room as them. ACF are quite social and seem to prefer a tank mate so it might be worth your while getting another.

White belly mark could be a scar - I have a frog with a similar mark that resulted from an ornamental injury.
The black underneath the arms is called nuptial pads and means your frog is a male. The frogs do shed but the black arms has nothing to do with that fact.
The males do frequently make a mating call - I have a recording of the sound on my site Jenste Frogs under African clawed frogs, Breeding if you want to listen to it to compare.

Now,
What size tank is that? The tall types are really not the best design for a primarily bottom dwelling creature - - they benefit from floor space, not height.
What did she tell you to feed them? The best diet is Reptomin Sticks. Do not feed fish food of any sort, they are not fish and this food is nutritionally incomplete for their needs. Do not also only feed frozen bloodworms or beef heart. Bloodworms make a great treat but in my opinion beef heart should be avoided at all costs due to it's high fat content.

Welcome,

Your frog looks healthy. But what kind of fish is that? If it is a Corydoras species then remove it cause the frog could try to eat it and choke in it.
Xenopus laevis normaly eat everything that moves, zo it´s kinda strange the fish is still alive.

I would remove the gravel and use sand.
And some wood and live plants to create hiding spaces. A filter with not to much flow in the tank.
The tank is too small I think for a Xenopus laevis. I don´t know if they need a friend, but I would defenetly add at least 1 frog.

I feed my frogs frozen bloodworms and earthworms.

(correct me I a wrote some spelling faults, I want to improve my english)

It is a Corydoras species I do believe, but not sure which. It is a "catfish" as I call it. But, it came with the frog. The fish itself is as long as the frog is, and they don't really bother each other. I've watched the two together for hours on end and they never really go after each other. And the funny thing is, when I had dropped some feeder fish in their tank, the catfish would push a few at a time towards the frog. The frog would eat the fish near by and then it started all over again. They were together when I had gotten them. The woman said that they had been together since the catfish was half the size it is now. And the frog never once tried to eat it.

I tried to feed the frog some blood worms... But it was the ones that come in the frozen squares. I don't know if it actually ate some. But I know I saw some feeder fish go after them. I tried feeding it some night crawler chunks and the frog spit them out.

What kind of plants can I put in there with them?

The tank was given to me with the frog and fish, so there for I really can't complain. The whole set up (frog, fish, tank, and filter) were all given for free.

Update on Ghost...

He is still doing well. He has started calling again. He is enjoying feeder fish and blood worms. He eats earth worms when i find them in my yard. I've noticed that he eats his shedding??? Is this normal behavior? Also, Im looking to re-arrange my tanks. He is still in the hexagon tank. Would he do fine in like a 20g long tank?
