Comments on How to Care for Albino African Black Clawed Frogs

Continued......My frogs are also very vocal as they make a creaking noise during the mating process. Kinda funny to hear after the lights go out. I enjoyed sharing them with a group of young children throughout the egg, tadpole, froglet and frog stage ! Stores will take unwanted healthy frogs off your hands, but for very little price. Any fish will generally be eaten by this frog, however I have found that the Plecostamus(algea eater) is too hard and bony to be bothered by the sharp claws. As the frogs adjust to you, they love to stand on their two feet and look out at you watching everything you do. You are their entertainment !

These frogs will eat just about anytime your willing to feed them. Keep in mind that overfeeding has the same effect as humans. It also leads to messy aquariums. I have heaters in my tank set to turn on if the water falls below 70 degrees F. The Black that your seeing is most likely due to the sex of the frog and did not show up overnight. You may have just noticed this. If the pads on the arms and legs of your frog turn dark...like a charcoal dust (guess what ?) It is a Male frog ! The females will not have this black and will become much larger than the male. The male hugs around the female below the belly/around the top of the legs. He does this to mate>pushing out the eggs>fertilizing them as they come out. I have had the opportunity to witness this activity as well as save hundreds of eggs> turned into a lot of baby frogs.

TO CARAG :::::::i feed my frog everyday..mayby he was hungry....im not sure about the feeding routine...but my frog eats everything anyway...includign small fish...so mayby you should feed him at least small food once a day..

As for temperature, being in Singapore, the temperature is suitable for most tropical aquaria, so the article above doesn't really apply to me. The country's climate must be taken into account too. Hope i have helped :)

Hi all, I have worked in two different aquariums before, and am a aquarium hobbyist myself. What i have observed is that different specimens of the same species might behave differently in terms of temperament and feeding habits. this applies to most pets. Keep in mind that predatory fish might be territorial. Having a bigger tank would mean that each specimen will have more of their own space and won't bother the others. As for feeding, a few factors must be considered too. eg.what did the shop owner feed it before u bought it. It is true that some can be trained to eat certain foods but from my experience some would rather die than get used to eating something haha. Also, water quality might affect how the animals feed too.

I had gotten on african dwarf frog and had him for about 2 weeks and then found him upside down. Everything was set in the tank, temp, food, ph. I then went and got another and had him for about 4 weeks and the same thing happened. He was fine before, eating , swimming around. I also have 1 molly and 2 guppies in my 10 gal. aquarium. Any ideas?

My Albino African clawed frog ate 3 or 4 pebbles...and I do feed him 3 times a week. I don't think he'll be able to "pass" them. Any suggestions anyone?

i ahve had my african from for over 4 yrs and am wanting to get him a friend of his own kind. He was in a tank of many fish for about a week and the fish, bigger than him, were "disappearing". im not sure if it is worth getting this 2nd frog and rishing him eating the smaller one ans possibly dieing :/ Anyone with experiences Help! Please

hi i have my african albino clawed frog for quite a few years now,and i believe this article overexaggerated.mine is in a 10 gallon tank with a goldfish.it tried to eat the fish a few times,but after a few weeks,i noticed they are now nuetral to each other.(similar to keeping a cat& dog together long enough,they stop fighting.)regular fish gravel is at the bottom,and i dont change the water often.i feed him regular reptile/anphibian pellets,and he is still healthier than most frogs of its kind that i have seen.

ok well as far as the care of the frogs, i have had mine for about 6 months and mine has not been that difficult to take care of and they are not as picky as some of the info i have read. i have mine in a 40 gal tank with a large filter and lots of gravel. Mine has not tried to eat it. Im sure if you keep your frogs fed they will have no reason to look for food.
