The male, smaller than the female, has been calling frequently and the female is very plump.

Does anyone have any specific information about any way in which their ideal care may differ from X. laevis, or on how to trigger amplexus and breeding?

The animals are at about 23-24 deg. C in clean, reasonably soft, neutral water. They are fed earthworms and occasionaly other invertebrates and, needless to say, both feed very well. They have recently been moved from a harder water area, but seem to have settled down well (based on feeding, calling and other behaviours). The aquarium is in a quiet area of the house where they are only disturbed for feeding and cleaning.

Thanks

Chris
You should follow the same care guidelines as Xenopus laevis. In the wild, they are quite similar.

Here are some husbandry guidelines:
