Tank Size~
African Clawed Frogs, or ADFs, grow quite large, but are relatively inactive. They lay in wait of food to pass them by, and lung at it as it passes. For a single frog, 10 gallons is usually sufficient. 10 gallons each for the 1st and 2nd frogs, and then no less than 5 gallons for each frog after. A minimum foot print of 30 inches (meaning a 20 long or 29 gallon tank) for two frogs, as they need their space.
Feeding~
ACFs are opportunistic feeders. Small fish and meaty foods are favorites for these guys. Some feed Beef Heart as a treat. Just remember, this is messy, and should be fed only if you are about to a water change in the next couple days.
If feeding feeder fish, its best to raise your own. Guppies and Platies make great feeders. Feed them a high quality food, such as New Life Spectrum or Omega One, and keep their water extra clean.
Tank Mates~
As ACFs are opportunistic ambush predators, its best to keep then either alone, with other similarly sized frogs, or with fish too large for them to eat, as well as being fast enough to get away from them, and fish that are not aggressive. Frogs have delicate skin, that tears easily. Goldfish and Mollies are good choices.
Decor~
Plants! Lots and lots of plants! ACFs love to hang out in plants, and lay in wait for their next unsuspecting meal. Plants should be strong enough to support their weight. If using fake plants, be sure there are no sharp edges.
Note~
ACFs are also sold in "Tuity Fruity" colors. These frogs are subjected to the same horrid dying process that dyed fish are. Only 20% of the frogs actually make it pet stores, while the other 80% either die during the dyeing process, or soon after. They live shortened lives, often just a few months, and their bright colors will fade as they grow, if they even grow at all.
