crazyred    Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005  | yep, I have a pretty big one in a 10 gallon tank with a bad dwarf gourami that I had to take out of my 29. I love my little froggie....his name is Kermit. "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."  |

I have 2 female pigmenteds and 2 male albinos. Shwimmy, Teek, Banjo, Lilly. They are very entertaining arent they? Mine reside in a forty gallon with a baby mississippi map turtle.  |

I thought about getting him a lady friend, but I would have to find one to match his maturity & size and most sold around here are babies and tough to sex. He seems to get along okay, amazingly enough, with my dwarf gourami. They don't bother each other. Here's a pic:  "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

| RNJ_Punk Big Fish Cory Fanatic Posts: 395 Kudos: 114 Votes: 137 Registered: 12-Nov-2006 | He is very cute. I am a moderator of a yahoo group called africanclawedfrogs2006 you should check it out. It is a small group but is very active! I find that acf do alot better with multiple frogs with them (at least 2 or 3). If you do get him a freind then you would probably have to bump up to a 20 gallon as they require 10 gallons each.  |

| crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | Yeah, I might do that (I knew about the 10 gal per frog rule  ). I could use that 10 as a growout tank since my fish are breeding me out of house and home.  He probably would be happier with a girl....it's just a matter of finding an adult. I went to get something the other night and I heard what I thought was a cricket chirping, so I bent down to see if I could find it and shoo it out the door and it turned out that it was Kermit singing!!! I have never heard it befor, but it was a lovely sound and he looked so cute in there singing. I'll check out your ACF group!! "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

| RNJ_Punk Big Fish Cory Fanatic Posts: 395 Kudos: 114 Votes: 137 Registered: 12-Nov-2006 | Yea see alot of people dont know about the 10 gallon per frog rule and keep them in little containers. Glad you knew!!! Lol wait till you hear a maiting pair singing!!! Lol and when you hear a female rejecting or approving a males calls lol. |

| crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | Man that sounds SO cute!! Do the ACF's not eat the tadpoles? It strikes me that Kermit will eat anything he can cram in his fat mouth, but maybe not if he was a daddy. How does that work out? "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

| crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | Isn't he cute?? I sure love my little froggy man. They're illegal in a lot of places because folks release them and they become destructive to the native wildlife. "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

| RNJ_Punk Big Fish Cory Fanatic Posts: 395 Kudos: 114 Votes: 137 Registered: 12-Nov-2006 | Well most of the time the eggs dont make it to the tadpole satge. They get gobbled up after being laid so if you wwant to save any youve got to do it fast (ecspecially when youve got 4 huge ful grown frogs withe HUGE appetites!) |
