Hi janet:

Sorry for not getting back sooner, i was on vacation trying to enjoy the last bit of summer before my teaching schedule begins. Glad you ere able to get the temperature down. 30(C) degrees is much too hot for this species. The water feels a bit cold but the frogs enjoy it and seems to reduce the chance of disease. Most of the problems that people face when they keep this species is maintaining proper water chemistry and cleanliness. I keep my frogs in a very simple tank, allowing about 10 gallons per adult frog. I have no substrate or filtration system. I make 100% water change every week. I feed three times a week, usually on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I clean the tank on a non-feeding day. It is also important to keep the water temperature of the "new" water within 2(C) of the "old' water, the frogs are sensitive to temperature changes. I feed my frogs exclusively Repto-Min. My adults are 15 years old and going strong

BTW, there is a closely related species Xenopus tropicalis, that is able to survive very well in temperatures around 30(C). X. tropicalis is native to West Africa.

Hi,

Can you please check out the few photo's I have uploaded as I am sure I have 2 species of albino frogs. I posted the details earlier on the discussion board I think. I still don't understand how to use this properly. Also they have not done any poo's for about 2 weeks now, ever since I started putting medicine in the hospital tank when my little girl had bloat and casper is still there due to his cloudy eye.
