Dwarf African Frogs Anonymous
Hey.

I've got a froggie friend by the name of Stephen (the ph is pronounced as in 'phone'). His gay froggie lover, Geoff (gee-off), ran away one day, and by that I mean I went to Disneyland leaving them in the care of my friend, who called me up on my vacation to tell me "One of your frogs is missing."

Anyhow, I don't want Stephen to be lonely, but I've had this froggie for, like, two years. When I got him, I did not think he'd LIVE that long. And he's showing no signs of croaking now (ha ha, pun!).

I am wondering, do you think he'd be okay with my fiance's tetras and beta, or should I release Stephen to my local pond, or should I just cave in and buy him another gay froggie lover?

Dwarf African aquatic frogs are indeed community animals. You can put them in with your tetras and betta. My store has ours kept with neon and cardinal tetras.

Excellent! I was hoping so. It'll mean we don't have to have a whole extra bowl for him.

The only thing that concerns me slightly is feeding... will his pellets be okay with the other fish?

The fish will most likey nibble on Stephen's pellets, but it shouldn't hurt them. Just as long as you keep feeding the fish their normal food. Just as long as you don't put too much food in the tank it should be fine.

They will nibble the pellets, but it's easier for them to eat flake food.....but the pellets should be fine. =)

Petco doesn't sell these anymore, neither does Walmart. Where can I get another one?

I had a large bitchy goldfish kill a very small frog once, but this isn't usually a problem.

When I was a kid, a really huge-ass DAF I'd had for years got out of the tank, somehow managed to hop or whatever 20 feed, and died behind the fridge. Have you found your missing frog?

Try local aquarium hobby shops, and smaller pet shops. I know the PetSmart here sells them.

A few questions...
I have a 60 gallon tank, currently inhabited by various friendly dither fish and a few gouramis.
Will a few of these frogs be ok in there? The tank is approx. 25 in. tall, so it might be a bit high. I did a quick search and it seems that they will eat a variety of foods... does that include regular fish food? (I feed mine flakes and freze dried bloodworms)

We were given two African Frogs when their original owner was tired of them. One of them disappeared one day and turned out to be the source of the strange, bad smell emanating from behind the TV. Definitely check to see if he hopped somewhere and, well, croaked.

Additionally, be prepared for several more years of Stephen. The one we still have is full sized, and we've had him for at least 7 years, but I think closer to 10.

Frogs typically need a sinking food. Maybe switch from freeze dried bloodworms to frozen, which will sink and are thoroughly enjoyed by frogs.

A new kind of Frog was just discovered in Suriname, along with a bunch of other rare beasts. http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/2007/1942584.htm

He just said that the "ph" was an "f" sound. "Stefen," not "Steven."

There is a from that looks just like that in the American Museum of Natural History. They have some neat frog display going right now.
