Bonus! The tank is bigger than you thought it was!

Question: Do you find your ADF's are eating your ghost shrimp? (I was told ADF's can live with RCS or any other type of shrimp, but found out today from a couple other people that their frogs ate their shrimp!!) Not cool! Not cool at all!

I read somewhere that very often, the african dwarf frogs are accidently sold as african clawed frogs.. one of the 2 is much more aggressive than the other.

I've read that too. Mine are definitely Dwarfs, (the more docile of the 2 species). I find the clawed frogs to be a bit scary looking, while the Dwarfs are super cute..... i think it's because the clawed frogs have fatter legs and their eyes sit on the top of their heads, while the Dwarfs have skinny legs and their eyes are on the sides of their heads.
