I just noticed that one of my ADFs has a pink bump in both of his armpits! Is that something dangerous or normal? He is totally healthy, croaking and everything. What are the bumps?

Quite normal. He's a boy!

I think that the bumps are called post auxillary sub dermal glands. (sp?)

Aw he's a boy! Yay! Im glad he's ok, but then if he's a boy, then my other one is a girl. Do ADFs even breed in captivity? Well, they're still growing though so I have a while. But thankss guys!

O yeah they breed in captivity. aqpparently you can have up to 200 eggs a shot and they will be at it for a while laying tons of eggs. but from my experience it is hartd to raise the tadpoles up to being adults, i only had my 2 that hatched last for about 2 weeks and then a guppie went into the net breeder and killed the one and the other died later. it's hard but a good challenge for you if you want to even raise em, if not just leave em in the tank and the parents will eat the eggs and you will have no problem with em.
