    7 years, not bad. I think they can live up to 15 years. With a friend of me I have a frog that is about 8 or 9 years now, still looking good

    I've been thinking of buying an ACF for awhile now, and it may seem like a stupid question, but what does "wild type" mean? I am assuming it's not anything bad, i just want to make sure it doesn't affect the frogs health before i buy one. I have many other pets, reptiles specifically, but this is my first time around with an ACF. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Not a stupid question at all! Wild type, or natural, is just another coloration. Wild type and albino are the most common colorations you will come across.

    This is an example of "wild type" coloring with albino in the lower right background.

    Thank you! I have a 20 gallon tank setup. I am planning on housing one ACF but are two allowed? I want them rather small, (froglets) when i purchase them. So i will not be able to sex them. I know 10 gallons is enough for one ACF. Right? I have done most of my research but i'm just trying to confirm it with the more experienced owners.

    20 gallons is perfect. Is it a 20 gallon High or 20 gallon Long? If it is a long you can even house three together due to the added floor space.

    It is a 20 gallon long. It doesn't have an aquarium cover yet, but i am going to buy one because i have found out that ACF's are quite the escape artists. Would you happen to know any good place to buy aquarium hoods/covers? Or ACF's for that matter? I have looked everywhere for an ACF but i can't find one. I have checked at my local fish store and they aren't sold there.
