    Sorry but there is no such thing as an albino african DWARF frog (ADF)

    Albino coloration only occurs for African Clawed Frogs Xenopus Laevis.

    There are no color morphs for ADF (African Dwarf Frogs Hymenochirus) other than the natural coloring.

    What you see in the store is simply a mislabeled ACF that the store is trying to pawn off as a dwarf.

    This is a regular albino ACF that has the potential to grow up to 6 inches if female and 4 inches if male.

    New morphs pop up every year so keep that in mind. Noone belived me for years about the albino or even axanthis FBT's to the point I had to pay out the bucks to get one and show it off.

    I also know of one or two leucistic ones floating around.

    Others will probably comment on this also, but as of this time there are no albino african dwarf frogs. Hymenochirus is still only available in the natural coloration.

    I will have to disagree on this. And I am not disagreeing just to be difficult. I have seen pics of him and do not believe at all that he is a regular ACF. I know there is a big difference in the two as I have owed both in the past. I will get pics posted up as soon as he is in my posession. The pics I have see of him are not mine so i can not/ will not post them until I get my own pics.

    Believe me if I am proven wrong I will happily admit it.

    So will my set up be ok for him and a few of his buddies? I was not sure about the sponge filter.

    I 'm not sure if they really are albino, but I have seen white/yellow dwarf frogs at my local pet stores. I think they could be xanthic or some other weird color morph that brings out yellow pigments. This is probably not right for most amphibians but usually if its white and you can see its veins if most likely albino or something else like that.
