Umm no. But you can sub frozen brine shrimp or dried brine shrimp instead. Frozen won't cloud up the water as much. You should be able to order stuff online too. Maybe http://www.kingsnake.com can help you.

ORDER ONLINE!!! goldfish eat totally different things than frogs. If you MUST rely on food formulated for fish, get food for carnivorous fish. betta food might be ok. Ideally though you should feed your frog blood worms or fruit flys. you can learn how to culture fruit flies without them taking over your house at saurian.net .(you'll learn a lot about frog care there) Don't forget that if you have frogs in your fishtank you have to clean it a lot more often. Frogs soak moisture thru their skin, so any bacteria or other impurities in the water will go right into the frogs. Good luck!

I have had african dwarf frogs for 5 years. They eat goldfish food and have not died this is all i ever fed them and betta food. They actually are pretty tough. Its the only thing i ever seen live with a betta. I had on in with my betta for 3 years till betta died. Now i have 2 of them in my 25 gallon tank with yellow snail and algea eaters and bottom feeders and gold fish and gohst shrimp. They all get along great. My frogs also like the chichilid food crumbles as a treat. As far as making water dirty mine never has. My tank sparkles. they are great entertainment. Good luck

You can usually get blood worms anywhere you get regular fish food...that's really what you should be feeding them..just fish food won't do.

If they eat it I think it should be ok, but bloodworms are the best and easiest for a clean tank!

no!!!,I think not really i think for u to do it might be gross but u might need to give it some grass or try to catch some flies put a fly trapp out side every day and give it to the toad, or u could let it free or go to a petshop and see if they anything.
