Helmeted water toad (Caudiverbera caudiverbera) ?

Hi Carlos,

Looks like these frogs are in trouble in Chile. The African clawed frogs have gained a large foothold in the country. So not only ACFs are bringing in chytrid but they are wiping out the native species through predation. There is a report (in Spanish) from the University of Chile that explains the problem. I was excited when I saw my name in the report as a contributor.

Damn frog trying to eat each other: (
I had to separate them.
I'm not going to make pictures of them to avoid stress.

Hello
Frogs have grown substantially. Eat every two to three days, sometimes more often.
There was a question-and what is the minimum temperature of their content?
Now the nights get cold. The water temperature of about 19-20 C.

Water temp should be 21.1°C during the day and no higher than 23.8°C. Night time should be around 18.3°C.

I saw this thread and i had always thought these guys (Cadubavera spc.) were not
in the pet trade anymore because of their status in the wild, I do know that they use
to be more common in the pet trade 20 or 30 years ago though. I would suspect because
of their large size that they would need a 20 to 30 gallon with half and half tank.

And what is their status?
