    The activity does not bother me ... I have an axie as well and man she is lazy but I love her , She even swims up and greets me

    I have not even seen Ninja since I put him in the tank really, I am hoping that it will be a case like natsu where he will grow out of it but even feeding time doesnt perk up my little one.

    They're not very exciting when they're little, they're more comical and active when they're adults. When I first got my frogs over a year ago they were all small and I thought they were kind of boring, after 6 months or so they seem a lot more adventurous and active.

    My 1 inch juvenile african clawed frog spends 90% of the day jammed behind a whisper filter, he just likes it there. He comes out to eat, he swims around a bit, then he's back behind the filter again.

    I think lighting may play a role too. When my LED Strip is on full brightness / full spectrum they don't come out as much. They are diurnal in nature. During the day my adult frogs some times bask under the lights, they also like their cave so I find them in there often, but more often than not, they hide in the jungle vallisneria. I've noticed that my frogs are most active in the early morning and in the evening (I have a really cool LED strip that simulates dawn and dusk lighting conditions too). At night I keep the moonlights on very dimly until I go to bed, then I turn them off. They seem to almost always bask in floating plants with their nose/eyes above the waterline at night time, I assume this is when they are sleeping.

    Obviously during feeding time they're incredibly active and will continue to scramble to locate food even long after you're done feeding them. Opening the glass lid on my tank (while I am in the room to make sure they don't jump out) seems to make them more active too, they probably are just expecting to get fed but I often do this to just let the tank get some fresh air.
