I will go out an get the Reptomin Sticks tomorrow, thank you for the advice and the name. He actually has been quite the pig, but some days he won't eat. I suppose thats normal. He's a tiny little guy with a teeny stomach. I would probably wait on the live food for now. He actually CAME with one feeder guppy. I didn't notice it in the bag till I got home and neither did the girl who got him out for me. They were already in the same tank, so I just keep them together. He has shown SOME interest in eating it but I can't be sure if he ever will. For now I am treating the Guppy as a pet

This forum has definitely been more helpful to me than any other source! Thank you guys so much, you have no clue how much you've helped me out!
Xenopus has a specially formulated floating pellet, but I really don't know the nutritional value. If price is a problem, Amazon won't be asking much for some simple reptomin.

It's odd they gave you a feeder guppy for a small frog. If they are in the same tank don't get too attached to the guppy. Your ACF will probably eat it when it gets big enough. I used to keep an apple snail and my one frog nibbled away on it until it died. For tank-mates ACFs are good with ACFs of the same size, as they will not really care and eat the smaller one.

It's good that your parents are supportive and helping your pet. Try to print out some links for care guides and what to do, even if they are experienced with aquariums. African clawed frogs are hardy, but you want to make sure that they don't feed them something unfortunate, or let the water chemistry get thrown off. Especially something that could be toxic like ammonia or nitrite.

I saw what you use as a conditioner, but I highly suggest you use Seachem Prime. It is extremely potent and also puts ammonia and nitrites into a safer form for the biofilter. It literally takes 1 drop per 1 liter, so it does last a long time. Just get an eyedropper or syringe.
