Re: African clawed frog tank size.
Instead of duct tape, you could silicone some fiberglass window screen where the punch outs were. It will look better and give more air circulation.
I keep my frogs at 72 degrees F. Try not to let the tank get above 74 degrees F, since the higher temps allow more bacteria to grow and increase the chance of your frog getting sick.
Re: African clawed frog tank size.
That sounds good. I am not sure if my current temp is at 72. It changes every so often. Sometimes it's 74 sometimes it 72, it all depends on the weather, is that ok?.
Re: African clawed frog tank size.
That is fine, a couple degrees variation is quite normal. If it raises or drops drastically then it could pose an issue. I do not use a heater in my tanks and they get to about 68*f in the winter and to mid 70*s in the summer. If your tank falls below 65*f in winter I would look into a heater to raise it a few degrees but these frogs are remarkably resilient

Re: African clawed frog tank size.
I am gonna have to be careful with my water changes then. I normally use water that is either to hot or to cold or I do both to balance it out. My 29 gallon with a heater starts out at 678 degrees when I am done with taking the water out it is about 72 when I am done putting the water back in it is about 78 or 82 degrees.. I am gonna have to use my dads thermometer gun to make sure the water is not to cold or to how for the lil' guy. I am going to ask my Local fish store about special ordering one.
Re: African clawed frog tank size.
Don't really need to special order a thermometer. Just use your hand to keep feeling the temp and make adjustments as needed. You will get used to the feelings. I will say a few degrees cooler is generally better than a sudden swing hotter
Doing more frequent and smaller changes can help also as there will be less new water with a different temperature added in.

Re: African clawed frog tank size.
Like 5 gallons for water changes?
Re: African clawed frog tank size.
for a filtered 10 gallon tank with one african clawed frog, do a 20-30% every other day (just my opinion). Minimal water swings and not as daunting as the larger changes.
