    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.

    20 Gallon Long - ACF tank.

    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.

    I just made a big mistake clicking on this thread. I am especially jealous of Michael's tank. I've had a bare-bottom for the last year and I really miss the look of sand. I've never been brave enough to delve into the live plants, but this makes me want to go for it.
    My own tank is looking pretty sparse in comparison to these. The fake plants and ugly background just aren't cutting it anymore.

    I've done a lot of rearranging and added a really sweet mopani driftwood piece with moss now starting to attach. I couldn't get the mopani wood placed as I had planned because the 40B isn't quite big enough but it came out ok. The lighting has been upgraded to a Current Satellite LED+ which allows you to customize the RGB completely, it even has built in weather affects like thunderstorms and cloud cover, which is really awesome.

    I also scrubbed away most of the diatoms riddling the tank as well. As far as plants, I removed a lot of vals and planted water sprite which is amazingly growing planted 1000% better than it did while floating.

    The frogs are fat and happy too of course!

    Nice tank. Is the LED good for your plant growth? I am considering on buying it too, if it already exists in Belgium.

    This is my 16 gallon ACF tank, home to Pebbles. I've never heard of anyone keeping an African Clawed Frog in one of these tanks before so I'm being very cautious. I've not quite finished yet either, I was hoping to attach one or two planted logs to suckers and put them on the sides of the glass, to provide extra hiding without compromising floor space (which this type of tank lacks).



    And this is Pebbles on her little food dish..

    hi! these are all so, so gorgeous. I'm probably getting ACF soon. how does a 10 gal tank for 2 frogs with a floating moss ball, large River Rock substrate, and several hiding spaces sound? and do I need a filter or can I just clean it out every few days?
