    I would recommend some live food such as earthworms, which are nutritionally dense and complete. Feeding pellets is not normal food fare for ACF. Other options would be silkworms dropped in the tank or hornworms. These all have positive Ca:P ratios and will aid in your frog's growth, also they are high in protein which will help plump the ACF up. Also make sure the filter has a very tiny to no current output. I would recommend not even using one, because ACF are from still waters and numerous experiments have shown they can easily be stressed by loud noises (even though we can't hear the filter, it sounds like a jack hammer to them). If you just perform 20% water changes every 3 days, you should be fine. Good luck!

    Oh my goodness. I unplugged the filter on the tank(I put my ear against the tank it and it did sound too loud) and I just now heard my frog croaking. XD It's an adorable sound. I just wanted to say that without starting a new thread.

    My three used to "talk" all the time to each other, especially after a good feeding. I'm glad to hear that yours is strong enough to call. Sounds like you have a tough frog who is going to give you many years of enjoyment. Boy or girl, it's a lucky frog to have you taking care of it now!

    Socrates is right. A filtration system is not recommended for ACFs. For some reason, I forgot that point in my post. I enjoy hearing my frogs rap each night
