They breed like mutherf---ers. 1st week I got them , 4 paired up start to knock flippers and laid hundreds and hundreds of eggs. After losing many many tadpoles due to my ignorant ass I currently have 4-5 surviving tadpoles growing slowly.
They dont need basking areas , fully aquatic though they breathe air so not too deep a tank.
Dont confuse these with African Clawed Frog. Best way to ID if they're the same size, ADF have webbed front hands , whereas the ACF have no webbing and more claw factor. The other factor , ADF stay small 2" max.. te ACF get 5" or so.
