    Default Tank for ACF

    Hi!
    To start with I want to say that I'm Polish and may make some mistakes in English.
    I've had one African Clawe Frog for 5 months. It has about two inches.
    Soon, I want to provide it bigger tank(current - 25 litres) and give it a companion.
    I know quite much about "aquariums". Also I know that for two frogs the tank should be minimum 20 gallon, but I don't know if it is UK or US gallon. It is quite big difference. In Poland we use litres and I don't know how to calculate it( which gallon it is). For explaination: I surf the English Webs because there's not much information in Polish Websites. Please help!

    Google has a converter you can use. You want at least 20 US gallons with the 20L(75cm x 30cm x 30cm) foot print being better than the 20H(60cm x 30cm x 45cm). 20 US gallons is 75.7 Litres.

    I don't know what is 20H or 20L and can calculate how many litres is 20 gallon but don't know what gallon (US or UK) you use to designate the capacity. So, the tank I want to buy is 72 litres 60cm x 30cm x 40cm and I want to make sure if it will be ok for two frogs. Will it?

    Couldn't it be 72 litres? In Polnd I can't purchase 75 litres, only 72.

    That's close enough.probably the same tank, one manufacturer is claiming outside demensions while the other is using the actual volume based on inside demensions.

    The H and L stand for High and Long. You want the longer tank. These frogs spend most of their time along the bottom of the tank and swimming side to side. Long tanks are more important than high.

    I recommend a tank at least 75 liters or 20 US gallons for two frogs.
    72 Gallon Bow - ACF and GF tank.
    26 Gallon Bow - ACF tank.

    20 Gallon Long - ACF tank.
