ADFs are fully aquatic frogs, so they will only leave the water deliberately if it is a life-or-death situation. (They can't survive very long out of water.)

Thank you! I will try!

Thank you! You sound much more knowledgeable about amphibian diseases than I. Do you have any recommendations on what ADF owners can do when they encounter an illness, other than to see a vet? I get a lot of questions about that. I've seen methylene blue listed as a treatment for various problems, but I haven't had any luck with it on frogs myself.

It's original music.

Is there a some place where i can your music? @@chrisfishfrogs

@@juaneslava7407 Not really, sorry! This song was just something I did for the frog vids. I do plan to start another channel that is focused on music, but it's not really up and running yet. I do really appreciate your interest, though. Thank you so much!

It's best to experiment yourself, by observing how much your frogs eat. The best way to do this is to target feed some worms or shrimp, using tongs; feed until they don't eat anymore. This will require some time. Failing that, I would put food in one designated place, like a feeding dish or in a specific corner of the tank. If the food is all gone the next day, try feeding a little more next time. If there's food left over, feed less next time. Good luck!

@@chrisfishfrogs Thank you so much this is really helpful! I’ll definitely monitor closely to see how much they like :)

Thank you! I have multiple more vids planned; just need time to assemble them!

It's probably okay if it's buried under rocks or sand. You just don't want the frogs accidentally ingesting it. If the frogs are on top of the bio-stratum, there's a small chance they could ingest some, but it's not likely. Good luck!

Thanks so much!

Thank you! Yes, ADFs will eat scuds. I've tried cultivating scuds, but haven't been very successful. When I have done it, it was because they arrived already on plants that I had put in water.

You can plant them in pots (there are planters available specifically for aquariums: www.aquariumcoop.com/products/easy-planter?srsltid=AfmBOoqy5U445tYCLMgBxRxENglJvlKPDlgnB4yoIPNXIH-pbqY0r6v9). Or you can use floating plants, like water sprite.

A 10 gallon should be fine for one. You can fill it to the top if you have a lid, otherwise 3/4 full. Light isn't necessary, but it won't hurt.

Get 2 frogs!! They like friends

I think having a single ADF would be fine, but I'd recommend at least a 2.5 gallon for a single adult ADF, preferably a 5 or a 10. One gallon is really going to restrict its movement. If the tank size is set, I'd suggest something else like a betta. Good luck!

No, they don't. I don't use gravel with mine. They do need places to hide--they love big rocks and plants (fake or live).

Thanks so much!

It sounds like your tank is going through the nitrogen cycle for the first time. Ammonia will not cause your frog to shed, but it might be the culprit if your frog is not eating. (Although it might have eaten its skin.) I suggest doing big water changes daily as your tank spikes in ammonia, then nitrite. Once the nitrite subsides, you can stop doing daily water changes, but that might be a few weeks off. You can get away with doing changes bigger than 50% (like 90%). Just try to match the temperature of the existing water as best you can (they make digital thermometers for aquariums), and make sure to use a dechlorinator liquid. Your priority at this point is to minimize the ammonia, which is highly toxic to your animals. Neon tetras are fairly sensitive, but your frog should be more robust. Good luck!

Shedding is fine and my frog ate its own skin but he is my most healthy frog and is VERY playful

Your frog might be attacking your fish making them weak too then they die, they do it in the dead of night but I’ve caught mine trying to eat my male guppies. Also they need friends.. I rescued my first dwarf frog because he was missing an arm and I felt bad for him and through research I found out they don’t do well on their own, got a few more and it became more active and thrived, they need fellow frogs. Also, too much activities in a small area will heighten chances of sickness especially since the water shouldn’t be changed often so please consider the amount of peers to water and that they absorb everything in the tank with their skin, it’s why I got them a 40 gallon then their 70 gallon oasis eventually. They will explore if you give them more room and be more active. Best of luck to you!

Probably water sprite.

The frogs will definitely go after anything that moves in their vicinity. If they're lucky, they'll catch one. But fast fry will be hard for these slow-moving frogs to catch. Frogs will help with fry control, but endlers are pretty quick.

I absolutely loved it and felt it perfectly matched how fun and silly these adorable froggies are.

@@5r4ndy IDGAS if you did or NOT, this ISN'T your video an I WASN'T talking to you.

@@brendab2323 aite psycho lmfao. I wasn't talking to you either.

Glad I could help!

I still hope to make one!

Thanks so much!

The guppy will eat any food dropped in the tank, so you'll need to target feed your frogs. Good luck, and have fun!

@@chrisfishfrogs ok ty

Awesome tip, thanks ​@@chrisfishfrogs

If the guppies are male, your frogs might try to eat them unsuccessfully when they get bigger. If they can fit most of it in their mouth, they will try to eat it and your guppies might look like they have fin rot from the ordeal of being almost eaten.🤷🏾‍♀️ this is from experience and witnessing it in person.

That makes sense, since they can't reach the top to breathe if the water is too deep.

Yes, but if your frog is aggressive then it might sometimes nip at your fish's tail.

It really depends on the temperament of the beta fish and the frogs. I've had betas which I thought were acclimated to tank mates suddenly become aggressive and kill other fish and constantly harrass the frogs. It's honestly unfortunate but beta fish really are happiest and best off living with no tanks mates in a nice 20 gallon tank.

@@outtarespecttomyfawtha1589lol or with a little crab🦀 🤔 then again the crab did escape 🧐

Awesome! Have fun!

They are automatically gay

turn the frickin' frogs gay

That's tough. If it's bloat, then the frog has a chance to live with it for a good while longer. If it's discoloration or fungus, I haven't had good luck in treating it. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck!

They certainly aren't self-sufficient. But once you get the hang of them, they're not too bad, compared to some others! :)

It's a female. Females are rounder and larger. The male bump is raised, not just a coloration.

Thanks so much!

As long at the frogs have some places to hide, it should be fine. You will likely need to target feed them, though, because the guppies will quickly consume all food before the frogs find it, even if you overfeed. Good luck!

How do you target feed dwarf frogs?

@@KathyPeterson-z4f See here th-cam.com/video/6vJZerkzsv4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=16dgOB4b2LTe4lH3&t=175

Thank you, I have been meaning to make more!

Yes, that should be fine!

I hope to make that video at some point! (Fingers crossed.) I have all the footage, just not the time...

Hi! I’ve kept frogs and fish for years. Never use tap water, for any aquatic animal you will come across. You need to get a stabilizer and ammonia reducer and have the water treated and cycled with a filter (and heater if it’s a tropical fish) for at least a week beforehand! Buy ammonia test strips, they’ll usually have other tests on them such as ph level, nitrate level, and so on. Regularly check you water as you’re cycling it, and if it looks good, then add your animal! Hope this helped :)

@@vivixenz thank you!! This helped a lot :)

Your tap water will likely contain chlorine and possibly chloramine, so you should condition it first with something like Seachem Prime or Fritz Complete.

@@chrisfishfrogs thank you! This is my first time having frogs and I really want to make sure I do it right :)

Is the tank filled all the way to the top? If so you need like 2 inches of air

I have well over 2 inches of air

what specific decor and plants are in your tank? what food do you use?

@baehem6608 I have a peice of wood I got from the pet store made for aquariums and I have pothos plant the roots in the water and some green mossy looking stuff I also got from an expert. I use the little aquatic frog pellets in a little blue bottle

@@Syd_The_Sloth that all sounds okay.. do you test and treat your water during water changes? is there any sort of filter, thermometer and heater? edit: sorry, i forgot you said you do condition your water! maybe it’s the source of the frogs? big chain pet stores often don’t treat their animals well, and they may look fine in store but quickly decline due to the stress of being moved. i’m wondering if that’s what it is since your setup sounds alright. are there hiding spots for all of the frogs? lots of hiding spots reduces stress

That's very odd. Are you sure it's a dwarf frog, and not a young clawed frog? It might just be a very aggressive individual.

@@chrisfishfrogs they are dwarf. I’ve pried them apart twice tonight

@@BeckyRamsay-pv6du I'd try to separate them, if you have another tank or container. Let the frog cool off for a while. Best of luck!

Genuinely don't think it's possible for a dwarf frog to kill a pleco or a snail. I am nearly certain you didn't have a dwarf frog, but a clawed frog. Bettas at the best of times are not fast but there's no way a goofy thing like an ADF is killing one.

Did it shed? You shouldn't be able to see its internal organs. If you can, then it has a problem. If it's just a color change, it's probably not a big deal. Good luck!
