I hope that the people responsible for this site will remove this item, and that people will refrain from purchasing these frogs. They are largely responsible for the demise of amphibian populations around the world! These Frogs are highly invasive and also carry a disease that is wiping out native frogs.

Those never grow larger than about an inch and aren't as prone to "Houdini" acts in climbing out of their tanks like the clawed frogs. Clawed frogs are actually banned in a number of states, including California because they become problematic candidates for species invasion when they get loose and can mess with local wildlife populations. Last thing we need is another "Cane Frog crisis" like the one they're dealing with over in Australia.

Fun to watch them eat, but mainly they just lay still on the bottom of the tank. I had 5 of these guys in a 100 gallon tank with my turtle.

More on that can be found at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_clawed_frog On another note... I worked in a herp lab for a while in college and took care of one of these guys - watching them franticly wave crickets into their mouths was always a funny thing to watch. As a pet I guess if you like other kinds of aquarium critters a Clawed Frog would be pretty interesting. Back in the day African Clawed Frogs were used as a pregnancy test for humans.

Little tiny things as babies, and they never tell you how big they get. You just find out after they eat all your other fish.
