I would like to keep a few of these in a small (2.5) aquarium and I have no idea how to care for these little guys. Any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I've had one for well over a year now. It lives in a community tank, never bothers the fish and vice versa. I don't feed it anything special, it just eats whatever the fish are having. It also seem to like algae or veggie wafers.

Here's a link with some good info: [link=http://www.allaboutfrogs.org/info/mypets/dwarfs.html]http://www.allaboutfrogs.org/info/mypets/dwarfs.html" style="COLOR: #CC0066[/link]

Here's a pic of mine:

Woah, that picture makes the frog look HUGE! Frogzilla!
That website is very informative, except you really do need a heater in an ADF tank. Also, they do not do well with goldfish becasue of water/size issues.

In a species-only tank, you could have about 5 (2m 3f), even in a small tank like a 2.5. They are socail creatures and always keep them in groups of 3+. You should also keep more females than males, because they are about as prolific as guppies. They are alwasy hugging when it is warm enough. In fact, you can even hear them singing.

They are not hard to care for. 100% water changes every week or so. And for feeding, I like live food, such as blood worms. Frozen cubes also work.

I kept 3 of mine with a betta and an apple snail for 2 years in a 2.5 gallon tank.

Best of luck
