Re: Post photos of your African Clawed Frog Set up
I've been thinking of buying an ACF for awhile now, and it may seem like a stupid question, but what does "wild type" mean? I am assuming it's not anything bad, i just want to make sure it doesn't affect the frogs health before i buy one. I have many other pets, reptiles specifically, but this is my first time around with an ACF. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not a stupid question at all! Wild type, or natural, is just another coloration. Wild type and albino are the most common colorations you will come across.Originally Posted by Bearded Box Turtle 68

This is an example of "wild type" coloring with albino in the lower right background.

Thank you! I have a 20 gallon tank setup. I am planning on housing one ACF but are two allowed? I want them rather small, (froglets) when i purchase them. So i will not be able to sex them. I know 10 gallons is enough for one ACF. Right? I have done most of my research but i'm just trying to confirm it with the more experienced owners.

20 gallons is perfect. Is it a 20 gallon High or 20 gallon Long? If it is a long you can even house three together due to the added floor space.

It is a 20 gallon long. It doesn't have an aquarium cover yet, but i am going to buy one because i have found out that ACF's are quite the escape artists. Would you happen to know any good place to buy aquarium hoods/covers? Or ACF's for that matter? I have looked everywhere for an ACF but i can't find one. I have checked at my local fish store and they aren't sold there.

You can buy a screen lid at nearly any pet store. Tell the employee what size you need and they should be able to guide you into the right direction. Petco and Petsmart only carry the dwarfs (at least here they do in RI), a Mom and Pop (private and not a chain) owned store will probably carry them. Pet Supplies Plus also carries them.
Please, Please, Please do not buy a "Tutti fruiti" or "Jelly bean" or other ridiciously named colored frog. Frogs do not naturally come in lime green, pink, blue, orange or purple. They have been cruelly dipped in dye.

not sure where you are in mass. If you want to go for a drive Animal City in Vernon, ct has a nice selection. Also you might call daves soda and pet near springfield, ma.
