This group is in a 65 gallon (cube or breeder) tank , PH 6.5 , 80F , lots of anubias and a couple of drift wood. This particular tank is tall and a powerful ehiem canister fi...

New to the boards. I have an African Clawed Frog and I am wondering how long they can live for. I have had him/her since 1995 and I got it indirectly from someone who raised it for a science project years before. Originally I had three, one climbed out of the tank, and the second one die...

Hi everyone,
I have been feeding my african clawed frog bloodworms, shrimp, floating sticks, and will be incorporating worms. I have heard not to feed goldfish. Are there any feeder fish that are sage?
Thanks.

A few weeks ago I lost my 21 year old AFC. I changed his water and an hour later he was lying on his back dead. I figured he would someday die of old age, but this happened directly after I changed his water. I have always used tap water for his water changes with no problems. After 20 years I figur...

Hi,
I have 2 female african clawed frogs that are both sisters and a little over 2 years old. I raised them from eggs so I'm rather attached to them.
They are living in a 20gal long aquarium right now, with plans to upgrade to a 50gal sometime soon. Anyways, I have a filter but I don't keep it o...

I have had my surinam toad, Dio, for about 3 weeks and I love him! Everything that i have researched about them says that they are agressive eaters. When i first got him, he ate 6 goldfish at once and now it's like he'll only eat one at a time. Is there anything wrong with him or am I just paranoid?...

Filtration
http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1597698,1597698
I feel like this may be a common question but I have read that ACFs are sensitive to loud noises and therefore shouldn't be kept with a filter. Is there any super quiet filters I could use? what about an undergravel filter?
How to ship ACF?
http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1590040,1590040
I have out-of-state adopters interested in some African clawed frogs, but I don't know how to ship these. I'd shipped a few dozen turtles over the years, but never frogs. How would I pack them? I WILL check the legality of the ship to state before hand.
