Are you keeping ADF or ACF? ADF are pretty slow eaters..

1 adf and 1 acf

1 adf and 1 acf

I am assuming you do not keep them in the same tank? They are not compatible and cannot be kept together.. Hymenochirus (adf) require warm tropical temperatures of 77F and Xenopus (acf) need cooler subtropical water of about 70F.

Xenopus are very predatory and aggressive eaters, hymenochirus are very docile and slow eaters. Xenopus froglets will always beat out a hymenochirus to food. that and as soon as your xenopus gets big enough he will simply devour the smaller hymenochirus guaranteed. Amphibians should never be mixed, they can easily transmit disease to one another as well.

Bottom line is xenopus belongs in a species only tank, they are highly predatory and bottomless pits when it comes to eating. Xenopus will eat or attempt to eat any creature it is kept with. The only suitable tank mate for xenopus is another xenopus of suitable size which is not small enough to be mistaken for prey (can't mix adults and froglets).

Hymenochirus also does best in a species only tank since most fish are too aggressive with feedings to allow them to get the proper amount of food to not starve.

If you aren't keeping them together then my apologies. : ) If you are, you need to separate these species ASAP because it will end badly for the smaller, soon to be quite edible hymenochirus. Do not trust xenopus with other tank mates!!!

Mike I am shocked that you are still humoring this thread. No good can come from engaging in this.
