African clawed frog tank size.

[brian c]

I was wondering what the minimum tank size is for one.

The absolute minimum I would suggest is 10 gallons. A 20 long tank would be much better. Clawed frogs produce a lot of waste, and any smaller tank would require a lot of maintenance.

How big do they normally get in the home aquaria? I am guessing about 3-4 inch,

[celticstarb]

It depends on the species. X. laevis is the largest and most common. Females can grow to over 5 inches, tho 3 to 4 inches is more common.

The largest I can get for the frog is a 10 gallon. Do you think I should still get him? Will two 5 gallons per week be enough?

[brian c]

2 five gallon water changes I mean.

I think 10 gallons is to small. During the day they might not do a lot, but when its dark they certainly like to swim and glide thru the water. Not much to swim in 10 gallons.
