Here is an African Clawed Frog, which is often called an albino, but you can see it has golden pigments in its body and black eyes. You
can also see the eyes are on top of its head not on the sides of its head. |

Here is
a picture of an
African Dwarf Frog
from Wally
Billingham, where the caption says, "Here is one of my dwarf frogs, with a
fat belly full of bloodworms". The eyes on an African Dwarf Frog are on the sides of its head. |

Comments
African Dwarf Frogs are cute, hardy, and very mild tempered. They are truly aquatic and do not need to get out of the water. They do very well in
a large fish bowl with one Betta, from three to five Ghost
Shrimp, a Mystery Snail, and some Live Aquatic Plants. But unlike those animals these
frogs need to eat live Black Worms at least twice a week.
There is another frog called the African Clawed Frog, which is a predator and is illegal in the state of California, so we've never had them or even seen a live
one.
The African Clawed Frogs are easy to distinguish from the African Dwarf Frogs by the number of claws on their hands and by the location of their eyes on their
heads. The African Clawed Frogs have 3 claws, and the African Dwarf Frogs have 4 "fingers" on each hand. An ACF has eyes on top of its head, and an ADF has eyes on the sides of its
head.

Recommended Diet
African Dwarf
Aquarium Frogs need live food such as Live Black Worms and live brine shrimp. Perhaps they will eat
frozen brine shrimp and frozen blood worms. A few frogs will eat freeze dried blood worms and maybe even some flake fish food or dry shrimp pellets.
Plan on feeding Live Black Worms to your African Dwarf Frogs at least twice a week. I feed my frogs Live Black Worms every other day.
If you keep fish with your Frogs, it will be a problem feeding Live Black Worms to your Frogs, because the fish will eat the Black Worms before the frogs find the
worms.
One solution to this problem is to buy an inexpensive turkey baster, and use it to squirt the worms down near the Frogs, so the Frogs can eat some of
the worms before the fish eat all the worms. This method usually works.
Incidentally, these turkey basters are not labeled for use in aquariums, so using them in an aquarium will violate our usual guideline of only using items in our
aquariums that are labeled for use in aquariums.
But these basters are manufactured for use around human foods, so we presume that turkey basters are safe for use with our fish too. Click here

Compatibility
African Dwarf Frogs will congregate together in a corner or under an ornament. They seem to enjoy being together, so it's probably best
to keep more than one together.
These frogs are good tank mates for Small Tetras like Neon Tetras and Glow Light Tetras, Harlequin
Rasboras, White Clouds, one Betta, Ghost
Shrimp, and Corydoras Catfish.

| Someone reported to us that this African Dwarf
Aquarium Frog was seen tiptoeing home late
last night, after too much fun at a rowdy party. It's possible, but knowing this particular frog the way we do, we've got our doubts. |
