ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I was at my lfs last week and saw that they had African Dwarf Frogs for sale. I went back there on the weekend and the sign changed and said Underwater Dwarf Frogs. Is there any difference? And could i add ADFs to my tank thats 32 gallons stocking as follows.... 6 cardinal tetras (very very small) 6 cories 5 danios 4 ottos 6 black neons 1 baby angel I don't know all that much about ADF's butthey look cool. Thanks.

They are less than 1" long. My ADF pretty much keeps to himself and I've never seen him bother any of the fish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

But, I'd say your tank is already fully stocked, if not overstocked. So, if you really want some frogs, get a cheap 2 gallon tank. With a sponge filter, you could keep 3 ADFs in that tank.
