The Tropical Clawed Frog
I am not longer keeping these species anymore. At the time I was keeping 4 silurana spp. in a 20 gallon tank. I was housing
3 females and 1 male. They are the only species of aquatic frog that will actually leave the water to sit on floating lilly
pads, plants, etc. and bask. They loved to sit on floating water lettuce and are very friendly. The company "Grow A Frog"
also has this species available, usually upon request or to CA residents. Exact species of my frogs are unknown. These frogs
need heaters and temps. of 78-81 F. There names are Kina, Nuna, Ekoi (females) and Faso (male). They are thriving and doing
great in their new home.

Due to the obvious size diffrences between Silurana and African Clawed Frogs (not to mention diffrent temperature requirements)
these two species should NEVER be kept together, even though companies like Grow A Frog sells both species but doesnt tell
you exactally what you are recieving.
