I've been thinking about getting either an African Clawed Frog, or an African Dwarf Frog. However, before I jump in, I want to make sure I've done my research.
Most things I've read say that a clawed frog can live in a 10 gallon tank. Is that accurate? It seems small, because of how big they can get. I know dwarf frogs are much smaller, so they might be a better choice for a 10 gallon.
I also wanted to ask, is there a preferred pelleted food for aquatic frogs? Or any other dietary items? Should I skip substrate? Any other important things to know? I am familiar with caring for fish and inverts, I know how sensitive frogs are, and I know that African Clawed Frogs are legal in my area (Illinois and Indiana).
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but I've found a lot of conflicting information on the internet for both species. I also don't know who to tag here, I don't know who our aquatic frog folks are!
I'm not bound to either type, but i do know my local fish store has clawed frogs, unsure if they have dwarf frogs as i haven't been there since December lol.
