i will be getting an african bulfrog soon,i want to know how males look as babies i will have a few to choose from.i want a male because they get bigger.

There is no way to determine the sex when they are babies.
The males do grow quite a bit faster that the females so you would be able to make a reasonable guess if you raise a small group for several months.

im going to a show so i will have a few specimens to choose from,do you think the biggest ones will have a higher chance of being male.also can i keep them in all water tank like half an inch and how would i heat this water if i choose this setup.

The larger size babies may prove to be males but this is dependant upon age, feeding, etc. These frogs need to be able to get out of the water. The water container should be cleaned and refilled daily. They are a hardy frog so even novice keepers can maintain them with a minimum of experience and a little research. The vendor should be able to provide you with the basics.You should have all of your housing issues and concerns addressed prior to getting the frogs.

Don't go by size in very young specimens. I've picked the largest of a breeding in the past to raise, just out of curiosity, and the few largest while at a length of around 2 inches never all turned out to be male. You also should not have an all water setup, health problems directly related to being in water all the time can arise.
