    Well, he is definitely a Ranid, member of the family Ranidae or true frogs. Most likely a leopard frog, but which one. If only we knew his place of origin, that would help a lot to nail it down. I am thinking its most likely Lithobates (Rana) sphenocephala, the southern leopard frog. This frog can be found in Florida and that's where most fish are cultured for the pet trade. Another possibilty is Lithobates (Rana) pipiens, the northern leopard frog. There is also the possibity that I could be totally wrong (about the leopard ID).
