Hyperolius punctulatus is endemic to Angola and is considered "data deficient" by the IUCN Red List which means there isn't much information about them. I have looked at all my field guides on African frogs and could not find a listing for them.
However, the spotted reed frog of southern and eastern Africa has a similar name, Hyperolius puncticulatus. This is probably the species you are looking for. Captive care is the same for most species in the family Hyperoliidae.

Thx for the answer.
These are the little jumpers.
Copyright of Divane, those are her's critters as well
The girl said they are Hyperolius punctulatus, but seems they are Hyperolius puncticulatus as you guessed.

Thanks for the photos. They are H. puncticulatus. The length of the male is up to 33mm, female is 43mm. Like most species in the family Hyperoliidae, patterns and colors are highly variable, but the beautiful mask helps in the identity. The frog is native to Malawi and Tanzania.
Thanks for the fast reply!
