OK, for those of you who were part of my mystery frog thread...I found out it is an african clawed frog. I will be getting him(?) after the 27th. Barb, my friend who has him, said that she was told they are very territorial and therefore solitary - but didn't one of you (Erin?) say you had several (and I assumed the same tank.) I'll do my research but getting some input from those of you who have them would be helpful.

She is a 6th grade science teacher who just retired and she may be giving him (and her hissers) away so after I spend the summer with them I just may (yup - probably) take them on

Congrats on the possible new addition =)Is it an albino or regular brown?
And yes they can be territorial, I guess it depends on how early they are put together. If one has been alone for a year or longer, it might not take well to having a new friend introduced. Mine are not together as of yet, but it is because I dont have a big enough tank free that I can put them both in. (Two can be kept in a 10 gallon aquarium if you choose, but the bigger the better)

One thing to watch is that the water can get bad very fast, (and smell a bit) but you should have no probs with them, they are funny to watch!
Good luck!

they live for quite awhile and get to a pretty decent size...grow kinda slowly compared with other frogs
