Need advice new to owning African claw frogs

[Jundiya]

* UpDate*! started out with 30 African claw frog eggs half died from an accident where my dog got ahold of their container and the others died of natural causes. Currently I have 13 live African claw frog tadpoles one of which is mutated and doesn't have a tail but is still alive. I have been changing the water every other day by leaving out a bowl or cup of water for 24 hours then replacing that water with the water from their container. Feeding them once a day with finely ground fish food flakes mixed with water then I let it settle and suck out all the surface water leaving the bigger particles on the bottom. I will be increasing the amount of feedings as they get bigger and moving them into a 10gal tank when I feel its appropriate. I will upload some pictures I have taken of them there isn't many but still interesting.

Hello and welcome to FF! Not sure what is water quality or how it's processed at your location; but most cities in USA add chloramines to tap and the older procedure to wait for 24-48 hour does not work. To remove them, will need a dechlorinator like Seachem Prime. Good luck !

Pretty good article about amphibians and water quality. I prefer Seachem Prime myself, probably the best product for treating your tap water for aquarium use.

Breeding African Dwarf Frogs:

Sexing the Frogs: Sexing ADF are easy, provided you have adult frogs. The males will have a pimple like bump on each side next to the arm pit. Females do not have this bump.

Tadpoles require live feeders: African Dwarf Frog Tads are carnivorous, and fish flakes won't cut it for these little guys. You will want to invest in some different types of feeder cultures. Look into getting:
1) Microworms (a non parasitic nematode)
2) Vinegar Eels
3) Grindal Worms
4) White Worms
5) Brine Shrimp
6) Infusoria
ADF tads are really tiny (4mm), so you will need a few different types of small feeders as they grow. You will also need to know how to cultures them, so it's best to get your feeder colonies established first before you breed the frogs. The above live feeders are normally available from some feeder farms, fish breeders (check places that breed Bettas or Discus), and larger fish pet shops.
