Out with the old & In with the new!

Today I traded in my Chinese Algae-eater (got him by mistake, confused for a Siamese Algae-eater) for a pair of little froglets!
They are the same as my others (H. Boettgeri) and they are SOO tiny and cute!
I am quite sure that they are both females, though it is hard to guarantee at this age.

Right now they are in a QT tank with a small pump, rocks, and a few (live & fake) plants to make it more "homey" until they are ready to be moved into the 30 gallon and meet the others.

Just wanted to share.

I couldn't get that great of photos cause I don't want to bug them that much.

Here is ones of the babies.




And for comparison, here is an adult female.

Congrats! And they are cute! Keep us posted on their progress.

Thanks, Jace!

I will be sure to keep you all posted.
They sure are cute though, I can't get over it!

After feeding them and examining them again, I think that one might be a male.
I'm not going to officially declare anything before I'm positive.

I am the worst person at sexing frogs, but I always try anyway! Not like the frogs and toads are going to hold it against me-I'm the one with the crickets!!

Haha - you've got that right!
It can be darn tricky sometimes! Especially when you're dealing with a species that show little variation in terms of color/pattern between sexes.
The main cause of difficulty, IMO, is the fact that most of the traits that you go on when sexing these frogs don't become visible until sexual maturity, at which time such traits become quite obvious nearly simultaneously. It makes it kind of a guessing/waiting game, but it's all in good fun!
