OK, what you had were probably Dwarf African Clawed Frogs. Those are the little $3 frogs you can get from WalMart. African Dwarf Frogs get from 5-6 inches in length and need a very large aquarium with a filter prefferably. I would say to go to a pet store and buy one. Only use bottled spring or drinking water and keep any decorations out until they've been properly cleaned to be safe. Please go to www.allaboutfrogs.org to get more information on particular frog species. It's by far the best froggy site I've ever been to. Follow the ADF caresheet and you should be good to go! Also, many pet stores give out bad information like saying that ADFs can eat fish flakes. This is false and most ADFs die of starvation. They need things like frozen bloodworms and such. I've kept a few of these cute little guys and they're fun to watch! And extremely easy. I hope your next one turns out better! Good Luck and I hope this helped

I would find something else to put in there instead of a fake sunken car. It is probably full of toxins and chemicals/

Shipping frogs is hard on them, you are better off buying them from a pet store- especially in the winter time!
