Info on African dwarf frogs???

[black.moor.luver.mack]

Ok before I buy some I'd like to know about them...
1. What kind of food do they need?
2. How warm does the water need to be?
3. Is a 10 gallon tank going to be big enough for a few?
4. What fish are compatable with a ten gallon tank plus a heater with the frogs?
5. Please give me more info in this forum! Thank you. All comments welcome!

I'm hoping the info provided will help more people than me! LOL

I reco no freeze dried foods or pellets except for frog/tadpole bites as ADF's are prone to bowel impaction that can be deadly. I alternate between the bites and frozen(thawed) bloodworms. black moor luver check out this thread, I think it has the info you're looking for http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f12/african-dwarf-frog-question-145893.html

Mine also eat flake, but they love the bloodworms and frog bites.

I have 1 ADF in a 10 gal tank w/ black tetras, emerald corydoras, bumblebee catfish, snails, and chinese algae eater. He eats chopped up earth worms along w/ the rest of my fish but only at night, in the morning he gets froggy bites. I keep my tank at a neutral 78 degrees Fahrenheit with heater, filter, caves, plants, and driftwood. Caution ADFs have poor vision this may result in collisions with other fish, ADFs do shed but this is nothing to worry about, just make sure that air is easy to get to because they are air breathers.

Hope this helped and that you enjoy these little comedians as much as I do.
