Albino African Clawed Frogs-Bonnie & Clyde:)

[jbigtoe]

I am fairly new to this, but I have seen some set ups with flat sided pottery laying on the bottom to hide in, like a terra cotta pot. Are you growing plants in there? I have also seen a tube cut lengthwise to make a cave with cocoanut hair and aquatic plants tied to it with thread until it all roots together. I thought that was neat looking. I have a moss ball in my tank and Michigan kicks it around. I am not sure if he is playing with it or not when he does that. I think giving them some sand to dig in will be good as well. My little buddy was trying to dig and burrow into rocks before I realized the sand would be better. I wouldn't do the rocks at all. They sometimes swallow the small ones, and the big ones let too much stuff fall though to the bottom and that turns into a nasty mess. I also have an old, but safe, mug nestled in my tank that he swims into sometimes. I try to keep soft edges to avoid damage to his feet.

I hope something in here is helpful!

Thanks for the tips. Actually at moment they don't have any hides or such-that's why I was asking for suggestions.I'm thinking the previous owners didn't research this breed.I'm working on fixing them up a proper frog home that they'll enjoy though. I was thinking maybe the sand also but wasn't sure which to get.

I have their 20 gallon long tank started.I couldn't decide on what type of sand to use so at moment the tank has a substrate called Fluorite for the plants I'm going to be putting in there.I havea piece of driftwood that I'm hoping will soak up water & sink pretty soon in the tank-I've read that I may have to tie something heavy to it & sink it also.I added a terra cotta pot on it's side & their plastic plant they're used to as well. I need to get their lights & start getting plants.I'm using a Fluval 2 filter to help clean the water & removed clorine & added stress coat with Stress Coat.So far they look to be more active in the new tank & I think I heard the male (Clyde) sing today for first time sine we got himIt wasn't very loud or for very long but he did it twice.I'm not sure if the other frog (Bonnie) answered.-I'm hoping we weren't told wrong about having a male & female as both frogs show that dark arms.Though 1 is def bigger than the other & today it did look like 1 was grabbing the other around the waist but kept loosing hold.Here is more current pics of them in a clean tank lol.
