what do you feed an african dwarf frog?

Question

I am going to get 3 African dwarf frogs soon so I looked up on the internet on how to take care of them. One website said to feed them beta food because the frogs don’t touch the frog food should. What should I feed them? And how do I know they are eating it before the other fish? (I have guppies)

And am I over crowding? I have a 10 gallon tank
I have 2 guppies ( I well have more soon)
And soon I well have 3 frogs

and do they need lily pads?

Answer 1

They don't need lily pads as such, since they don't get out of the water, but if there are any floating plants (even plastic or slik ones) they amy hold onto them when they come up to the surface to breathe. It saves them the time and energy of swimming from top to bottom all the time, but they're just as likely to float in the water sometimes if you have plants or not.

Since frogs can be "dirty" and produce a lot of wastes, try just two to start. If you don't have major problems with water quality, then add the third. But you should be planning to change 25% of the water every week. And even though the dwarf frogs are safe with adult fish, they may try and eat the fry.

Try frozen (NOT freeze dried) bloodworms for feeding - they love these!

Answer 2

You're not overcrowding yet. Check to make sure the guppies won't nibble on the frogs, but they should be fine. I had African Dwarf Frogs a few years ago and they LOVE frozen bloodworms. Sounds gross but they come frozen in little cubes (I think you can buy them in the frozen bait section at Wal-Mart still). You just pop a cube into the water still frozen and they have at it. The guppies will probably like it too. I don't know if it's still up or not, but there used to be a website www.allaboutfrogs.org. The person who ran the site had African Dwarf Frogs (among others). Oh yeah, they don't need lily pads or anything else to sit on, they will never come out of the water. Also, make sure you have a tank with a filter and cover the end of the intake pipe with a piece of pantyhose held on with a rubber band to keep little froggie legs from getting sucked into the pipe.
Good luck and have fun!

Answer 3

I celebrate with the training you've laid out right here.elementary tactics to feed African Dwarf Frogs is on a small terra cotta plate if you're utilising gravel of their tank. The nutrition receives lost actual contained in the gravel and those frogs do not do a lot foraging for his or her nutrition.I position their nutrition in a small bowl of water, I then draw it up in a turkey baster and then squirt it out slowly onto the small plate contained in the tank. this way they are able to locate the nutrition a lot easier can fill themselves up. African Dwarf frogs thrive on a assorted nutrition plan of stay, frozen, freeze dried and pelleted nutrition. specifically formulated pelleted nutrition contains each and each and every of the supplementations and minerals they favor to advance healthful and chuffed, this must be fed as their staple nutrition plan.

Answer 4

You have plenty of room. Someone mentioned blood worms, an great food, as is brine shrimp. However there are times when you cannot get either of these. They make several brands of pellet-type food that sinks immediately to the bottom, the only place the frogs will it. I used the pellets when I had my pet shop,
