hole in claw?

Oh my! I was thinking it was ok because they're small and not fully grown yet. Is 2 in a 10 gallon ok? i have 20g filtration. I don't have a test kit. Do they sell them at petco or walmart?

You can probably get away with small juveniles in a 10g but as they get bigger the problem of not enough water will exasperate.. I was keeping three juveniles in a 20g tall without much issue. Honestly most problems with xenopus is going to come from water quality. Petco would certainly have test kits.. I would pick up an API Master kit or at least the Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate kit.. I would also pick up a 20g long because I am 100% sure keeping 3 frogs in 10g is bad news.. 10g is barely adequate for one adult ACF.

I agree with Michael. Especially after reading your other thread. You have got to get your house keeping and husbandry under control.

your comments are so rude. you don't know what's been going on, who are you to judge?

I can't believe this is where this is going. I don't know what was "so rude" about my previous statements. First of all you asked questions about issues your frogs have been having. If it is rude to hear you have not been taking care of them then do not come on here asking for solutions and trouble shooting advice because if the cause of your frogs' problems is your lack of providing proper care for them then you will hear about it.
Secondly how was I suppose to be sympathic to your problem/ accident when I did not know about it? This thread is about your frogs' issues. If you wanted personal sympathy you should have mentioned you had things going on and you knew you have not been providing proper care for your frogs and wanted to know how to get back on track, but you came off like you had absolutely no clue why your frogs were having issues.

http://aqadvisor.com/ is a great site for understanding how much capacity your tank is suitable for and how much filtration is needed for your stock..

I ran your set up through it and see the results. This is a 10g tank with 3 ACF and 20g of filtration as you can see, it is grossly overstocked and inadequate.

Everyone makes mistakes though I understand but please do upgrade as soon as you can for frogs sake!

Recommended temperature range: 20 - 24 C. [Display in Farenheit]
Recommended pH range: 6 - 8.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 20 dH.
Warning: You NEED to add more aquarium filtration capacity!!!
Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 47%.
Recommended water change schedule: 93% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 73% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 191%.
Your tank is overstocked. Unless you are an experienced aquarist who can meet the maintenance/biological needs of this aquarium, lower stocking levels are recommended. [Generate Image]

That is a great site, thank you! I think I may need to give some of these frogs away asap.
