I won't have room for any, I'm just wondering about them. I see them as babies, and I think they are the most adorable things. But I remember seeing some adults and they were like HUMONGOUSLY fat looking, and weren't as appealing. Are they supposed to look like that after they grow up? Any chance of pics? I don't think I've ever seen froggie pics on this forum

african dwarf frogs are tiny!! all the ones i have had have been anyway!!
i have a pic around here somewhere, ill try to get it up.

the fat ones maybe african clawed frogs.. look just like ADF's as babies, but ACF's get 6 inches long and eat fish. also are illegal in some places

My 2 ADFs aren't fat

No pics still *sigh* We got the pics back from our camera and almost every single one of them was very blury (I was holding the camera still when I took the pics) -_- and only 1 or 2 looked fine *sigh* We need a new camera I don't know if I'll try and take pics of the frogs or not since I highly doubt they'll turn out on that camera -_-

Lol atryeu, you and your camera problems They might have been clawed...how big do the dwarfs get?

2.5 inches i believe

LoL Kissy A desposable camera is better than our old "nice" one -_- LoL

2-2.5 inches or so is what I've heard as well for ADFs

Do adults look like this?

i cant see the link at the mo (on schools puter) but i agree - 2 - 2.5 is a good size for the to grow to.

That may be an adult, but I can't tell.. That's basicly what mine look like though One has a darker skin color with smaller black spots on his back and the other is much lighter colored with larger black spots

I don't think mine are full grown yet. They still don't look like 2 inches to me, but then again I'm terrible at measureing with my eyes LoL

I'm good with measuring with eyes! (at least inches and up to three feet..other than that I'm useless) Its one of my few talents lol. I remember seeing the really tiny baby frogs in those aquababies "tanks" they had in stores about 8 years ago. I wanted one SOOOO badly...thank god my parents said no to aquababies They are really cute tho

LoL I'm terrible with measurments of any kind It was my weakest subject in math.. Anything with geometry -_- *shudders*

Aquababies? I think I've heard of those before. Are they those itty bitty containers not even half a gallon or so they sell fish and such in? I think I've seen them online before and they looked so cruel! o.0

Yah, those were the aqua babies. They usually had 2 baby guppies, 2 baby frogs, or a guppy and a frog. Its been a long time, but they couldn't have been more than 16 oz. Poor things

*sniff* Poor little critters That's just cruel

An adult ADF should be no bigger than a quarter. Albinos - or ACF (African Clawed Frog) should NOT be kept in a tank with any fish we discuss in this forum! And they need lots of space and can live for over 20 years! ADF has a life span 3-5 yrs.

ADFs are SOOO cute! I still miss mine! But, I am too sad to get more now.
I hope you can get some soon - just make sure the pet store does not sell you the wrond one because they often confuse the names, too!

PS - the picture you posted is an ADF! Can't tell it's age b/c there's nothing to judge size... but they will pretty much be full grown when you get them at a store - if you breed them, then you can see what they look like really young!

Thanks Graham I don't have room for any, I was just curious about those cute little AFS. I'm keeping them in mind tho!
