    IF this is an albino Adf, but I do not believe it tfrog, then a sponge filter should be adequate if cycled beforehand for a small colony of Adf, no more than 6 or so. ADF are very sensitive to water conditions and are best added only to a tank with a fully cycled filter otherwise the filter takes weeks to build the bacteria colony which is actually what filters the water. Uncycled is pretty much just moving water around and making bubbles lol

    I still believe that you are bring shown pictures of very young Acf and in that case a spongefilter would be insufficient (an integral designed for a 20 gallon would be better) and you could have no more than two but preferably one frog.

    if it ends up being a ACF I will not keep it. I don't really have the room for a tank of them so I will gift him to some one who wants him.

    I know about cycling tanks and it will be set up and cycled before the frog is introduced.

    Even the head shape is different than a ACF. The skin look is different as is the webbing on the feet. It is coming from a experinced hobbiest as well and I am pretty sure he knows what he is talking about.

    I have never heard of an albino ADF. If there is, I'd like one too, even though I am not a big fan of ADFs

    Everything is set. I will be picking up him and 8 others on Sunday.
    The others are normal colored, but were bought from the same tank where he was found.

    So much for using the 15 gal. I have a 20 long and a 29 gal so I will have to start moving some stuff around :-)
