    I may have mislead you there, by "wild type" I ment pigmented. I am sure she was also captive breed. Don't know if that makes a difference.

    OK, I was thinking "wild caught". These frogs are very large and quite hardy. It is possible that your pigmented frog may have been wild caught or if not it's parents were. I have found that captive bred individuals are usually smaller. I have included photos of a pair of my wild type frogs. At the time the photo was taken, the female was with eggs.

    Part of my worry has been the fact that the albino only eats a little bit. Last night however I was highly pleased. We had fresh salmon and I cut a piece off and cut it up. She ate like a pig. First time I have ever seen here gorge herself like that. It was a big hit. I froze a bunch of small pieces for them and it will definately be part of their food rotation from now on.
    By the way I did some research to make sure it was one of the food fish that did not contain thiaminase before deciding to try it out. I may try tilapia next.
