We just got 2 of these frogs.I was told that I have a male & a female.We decided to name them Bonnie & Clyde.(Hoping Bonnie is a Bonnie of course)I've been googling info on this breed & from the pages that I found I'm sure that we have a male.(has the dark patches on the underside of hands & forearms) -just not positive on the if the other is a female.This is the site that I found my info on gender African Clawed Frog . I do know that I can't use chlorinated water & they prefer the longer tanks over the taller.(We just got them a 20 gallon long as the tank we got with them was a 20 gallon tall.I was told to feed them every 2-3 days & that these guys like live night crawlers. I was curious how much is best & what is good to offer so they get a food variety. These 2 seem to love to do a cute free float(my nickname) & hover mid water. So far their tank doesn't have much in it (I want to fix it up correctly & give them places they can play & hide)I welcome any & all suggestions on our new buddies.I felt bad for them as when we first got em their tank was filthy & had algae & hard water buildup on it.I have a Fluval U2 submersible filter for cleaning the waste & API stress Coat+ for removing chlorine from water & for protecting the frogs from stress as I have to completely change their tank-as you can see from my pic -their tank was pretty icky.(part of the reason for the new tank redo)I've got a tank vacuum for helping clean it as well.
Here is a pic of them from when we first got them.I'm going to start working on the new 20 gallon long tank tonight & hoping for advice on what all would be good to get for them for hides & such to keep them happy & healthy(Sorry this pic is blurry- I'm learning how to use a new camera & the tank water in that tank was really icky.)
