Anyone have one? I've been doing research on them lately and I really think I want one. I want to see what they're real appearence is in person though, not just by pictures. But i'm not sure where i'll be able to find them. Anyone know where you'd buy these specific ones? NOT a dwarf frog! I live around the Dallas, Tx area but I don't know of any places that sell these frogs. Only snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, etc. Or just cats, dogs. They forget about the frogs :(

I have cat, and a dog of my own. But I want one of these! I've tried turtles in the past (smellyy) and various little fish and i'm too young to start a big tank like I wish. So I want these specific frogs. I can't do snakes because of my parents, and i've already been around the other stuff. So I want to learn about frogs, simple.

Yay, I didn't think Petsmart would carry them. I'll try to start looing for them there. Hopefully they don't fail me. ^.^

i have found them at petsmart in the fish section. If that fails try a reptile show or look on line. Try the classified section of Kingsnake.com

4-7 inchs, but in the wild they top out at around 5. But due to commercial use, they've gone up in size. Largest I've seen was a 8 inch. 10G per frog, so a 35-45G should do you fine. (30 is smallest you can go, and I wouldn't suggest it). 12-14 inchs of water, and 6+ inchs of breathing room is suggested. I would suggest bigger rocks instead of gravel, maybe pebbles. And try and added different depths in your tank. make a shallow end, and a deep end (but everything still underwater). Make hiding spots. Usually with my fish I like to make hiding spots using rocks or pots, but making it bigger by digging into the gravel. Room temp is fine also, 70ish. Also run 12hr light cycles, and a regular aquarium light will do. You can house these frogs with fish, but I wouldn't suggest it. If any of the fish are smaller then them, they'll just try and eat them. Also, most of the chemicals used to balance the water for some fish will harm your frogs. All these frogs really need is dechlorinated water. bloodworms, waxworms, earthworms, feeder fish such as guppies, brine shrimp, rosys are also a good choice for feeders. Just make sure everything floats, or doesn't sink in to quickly . Like most aquatic animals, only put enough food that can be eaten in 7-10 mins. And you should feed them MAYBE once every day. But its suggested 3-6 times. (4 is prob the best)

They sell them in the fish section because they are totally aquatic. The water will stink just as much as a turtles if it isn't cleaned properly. I owned 2 a while back. They are not much different than the African dwarf frogs besides the claws and a bit bigger in size. They will eat other smaller fish. Sometimes they float to the top and let you pet them dwarf frogs will do the same.

Turtles get stinky if you are too lazy to clean their tank, wich they need large tanks with alot of filtration anyways with special lighting.
Clawed frogs might be illegal in your state or town. They are already illegal in california due to ones being released and the frogs surviving in local waterways eating all of the fish.
