African Dwarf Frog Care: Biology, Tank Setup, and Diet Guide

African dwarf frogs live underwater but breathe with lungs, meaning they can actually drown if their tank is too deep for them to reach air.

🔬 Use a short, wide 10-gallon tank to ensure the vertical swim for air is less than 12 inches.
⚠️ These frogs are scaleless and require ultra-smooth sand or a bare bottom to prevent skin tears.
💡 Their lateral line system acts as underwater sonar to track prey movements in total darkness.
🐠 Maintain a strict temperature window between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit for metabolic health.
