Pipa parva

[tgampper]

You can definitely see the family resemblance to Xenopus laevis and Hymenochirus boettgeri.

You are right, Kurt. Pipa is closely related to Hymenochirus and Silurana, however only distantly related to Xenopus.

gorgeous frogs Terry!!

I admit I do not know much about any of the Pipas -

how large do they get?
is their care similar to ACF?
can they be kept with ACF?

Pipa parva reaches about 2.5 inches. They can be kept much like Xenopus only need larger quarters and warmer temperatures. They will do well in a South American blackwater biotope. I would not recommend mixing species.
