DWARF AQUATIC FROG (Hymenochirus sp.) 2407

This species is also bred and sold as aquatic pets, often under name African dwarf frog that also includes other Hymenochirus species. As pets, African dwarf frogs can live peacefully among other fish in an aquarium. Their tank mates should be neither large enough to pose a predatory threat to the frogs, nor small enough to become food for the frogs themselves.

They are not an especially demanding species, and can be kept in most standard aquarium setups. Seeing as how they must breathe air to survive and can escape from the tank, aquariums that are not too tall and are well-covered are a must.

Diet consists of the following Primary Foods (Live or Frozen)

• Brine Shrimp: A staple for many keepers, easily digestible and highly nutritious.
• Mysis Shrimp: Generally preferred over brine shrimp for their higher nutritional value.
• Bloodworms: Highly favored by frogs, but typically recommended as an occasional treat rather than an everyday staple to avoid health issues.
• Daphnia (Water Fleas): Excellent live or frozen options that closely mirror their natural prey.

Supplemental Foods

• Sinking Carnivore Pellets: Specialized small sinking pellets designed specifically for amphibians or carnivorous fish can offer a balanced, daily nutritional base. 

Feeding Tips & Best Practices

• African Dwarf Frogs are notoriously slow eaters and compete poorly with fast fish.
• Sinking food is mandatory: Since they mostly hang out at the bottom of the tank, always thaw frozen food in a cup of tank water first so it sinks immediately .
• Remove uneaten food: Leftover food breaks down rapidly and can cause ammonia spikes, jeopardizing water quality.Provide variety:
• Varying their diet between shrimp, daphnia, and pellets ensures they receive a complete nutrient profile and helps avoid conditions like bloat

These frogs are not picky but overfeeding will quickly lead to obesity. They will also eat any form of prepared food that sinks to the bottom.
