New Owner that has been greatly misinformed.

3. What should they be eating. I was first told they would eat the flake food off the bottom, then to feed bloodworms and it didn't matter between freezedried and frozen, then I was told I may starve my frogs if I didn't get feeder guppies. and please tell me why all of what I have is unhealthy. I like to understand what I am doing.
No fish food, no feeders, feed a prepared diet like Reptomin, treat with thawed frozed mysis, krill, and store bought earthworms.

How bad is it for them to eat feeder guppies? I've got about 10 or so in the tank now cause of my not knowing and petsupermarkets poor employee recommendations. What do you suggest I do with them. I have nothing else that will eat them nor do I have any other tanks.

It is quite bad - - feeders are very ill kept and it takes only one ill fish to infect your whole tank. You risk infecting your frog every time you put an unquarantined fish in the tank. Besides that, they are not a nutritionally complete diet.

Can you post a picture of your frog please?
The best way to tell the difference between an ACF and an ADF is to look at the front hands. If they have webbing between them like the back toes, then it is ADF. If there is no webbing and only 4 fingers, it is ACF.

A 10 gallon tank is appropriate for only ONE ACF.

If you are in a bind with the feeders; take them out of the tank, throw them in a sandwhich bag with no water and freeze them. After he is eating a good pellited diet offer them as a treat once a week (1 fish thawed) until you get rid of them.

definitely an acf, and looks like a little girl. It makes me angry that a corporate pet shop would sell as the wrong frog, but what can ya do other than complain. Which I think I will. I did have 2 but I havent seen one of them since last friday, so time will tell if it mysteriously escaped or has been evading me. I have sealed up my holes, and have an eye out for a 20 gallon tank. Thinking she was only a dwarf frog I thought I had plenty of room, now knowing she is an acf, I will work on a bigger home... bummer about the feeder guppies, I will have to complain about that also. I think I will send an email to corporate and tell them they need to inform their employees and label the froggies correctly.

What else is in your tank that is preventing you from seeing the other frog?

I have a log for my pleco to hide in. Yesterday both frogs were missing, I stripped the tank of all fake plants took the log twisted it and rotated it and found nothing. 20 minutes later out was a froggy. so I don't know for sure if the other is in there or not. they are very very good hiders. but there was a hole in the top of the tank about 1.5 inches squared. so it is possible he jumped out and disappeared. but that would have to be one talented frog.

Unfortunately, big redflag here.

"PLECO"

What species of pleco do you have? None are small enough for anything under a 25-30 gallon. The common pleco, which sadly is sold very cheap as a baby and tiny....gets over a foot long and is needs a 100+gallon tank.
