African Dwarf Frog

The African Dwarf Frog (Hymenochirus curtipes) is a popular species of freshwater amphibian suitable for many community fish tanks. These small brown frog species are native to Africa, and are 100% aquatic.

Minimum Tank Size: 10 Gallons

Maximum Fish Size: 2"

Water Temperature: 74F - 80F

Ideal pH: 6.5 - 7.5

Water Hardness: 5 - 20 dGH

Temperament: Docile bottom-feeder, but may eat very small fry and baby shrimp. Will eat sinking pellets and frozen foods. Prefers to live in small groups.

Unless experienced with fish-in cycling, we always suggest cycling an aquarium BEFORE adding fish. Adding fish to a fresh, un-cycled aquarium can kill them rapidly. We offer free water testing at our physical location, and advice via email or call.
