Don't do well with fish - will probably either eat them or be eaten.

They will get big and eat, or try to eat all the fish in the tank, as well as your ADFs. You need to keep them in their own tank if you keep them. Here is a good care sheet.:

Oh jeeze now i don't know they have webbed toes but also have 3 black tips on the hind feed. all feet are webbed and they do look a lot like african dwarf frogs. could this just be another adf variation, i will try to post pictures later possibly tonight
Thanks Demon

If the front feet are webbed then they are ADFs, if there is no webbing, then they are ACFs. Both ADFs and ACFs have "claws" on their back feet.

Ok so i scared myself over nothing, i'm now new to this but they do not look like my previous dwarfs, i think they are slightly diffrent and the plecibo effect screwed my mind up.

Thanks the front feet are webbed
