They will kill each other and or eat each other. African dwarf frogs, also known as dwarf clawed frogs, need to be kept in aquaria that provide at least 2 gallons of water per frog. The bottom of the aquarium should be covered with gravel that is too large for the frogs to accidentally eat as they forage for food.
I keep ACFs and a couple of my females became huge. After a few days they shrunk back to normal. The eggs were not fertile. Even the oils on your hands can hurt these African dwarf frogs. African Dwarf Frogs are social animals, so they are best kept in groups of two or more.
Dwarf frogs will eat fish flakes readily, but relish the occasional live treat, like blood worms, brine shrimp or mosquito larvae. African dwarf frogs are extremely easy to take care of. You feed them five tiny food pebbles as tiny as sand grains once a day in the morning. Do African dwarf frogs get lonely? Obviously, a dwarf frog would not be alone if there was a betta in the tank. Frogs hunt live prey, eating snails, spiders, worms, slugs, termites, dragonflies, crickets and larvae.
It will never bother the others in the aquarium, and it will live a quiet life in the tank. However, if you add very small tank mates besides your frogs, they might mistake them as snacks. The African Dwarf Frog is a cheap breed. What do I mean by this? Also, the maintenance is easily done, without any headaches. All you need to do, is change the water from time to time, and clean the tank itself.
These frogs will eat pretty much anything you give them. They are not picky eaters, like other breeds you may have in your tank. Because of this, you need to be careful what you include in their diet. Their food should be quality made specifically for their needs. Also, feed them frozen food from time to time, to maintain a healthy diet. Sinking fish pellets will also work well.
The idea is to keep a regular and healthy diet for your frogs, to ensure the needed nutrients for their immune system. African Dwarf Frogs are shedding their skin. There could be multiple reasons why this happens in your tank. At first, they will shed their skin entirely in one piece as they grow bigger. To treat this health issue, you can use Methylene Blue. If there are no results, reach out to a tropical vet, and ask for his expertise.
In the mating period, African Dwarf Frogs can be heard singing. Yes, that really happens. This is totally normal behavior that occurs when the males want to mate. In such periods, to attract females, they start singing which sounds like humming or buzzing. This is part of their natural mating ritual. If you have a difficult time seeing into your tank with your room lights on, or if those lights aren't on for a solid 12 hours, you should invest in aquarium lighting.
African dwarf frogs might spring into action at night and hunt during that time in the wild, but that's one element you don't need to re-create. Simply feed the amphibians when you feed your other fish or when you spot your frogs hanging out in the open during the day. Because you should move their food back and forth in front of their face, or spit it out of a baster in front of them, it's difficult to feed them when you can barely see into the tank at night.
If you work or otherwise cannot feed them during the day, flick their aquarium light on briefly at night or shine a flashlight into their tank to locate them and fill their bellies. While they won't win a Grammy award any time soon, African dwarf frogs put on quite a musical show in your tank, and it often goes down at night. Males sing in attempt to attract a mate. Sometimes females answer back, but it's mostly the males with the lead vocals.
The singing sounds like humming and it can be quite loud, although cute. If the slightest noise wakes you up or prevents you from falling asleep, you probably won't want to have your frogs' tank sitting in your room. African dwarf frogs may also sing during the day, but it's most common at night.
