  Body:Blackish brown coloration with small white and black dots.White belly with four fingers and webbed feet with big fingernails.

Sexing:Female is bigger and rounder than the male.

Breeding: African Clawed frogs usually mate at night when everything is quiet. The male holds the female around the waist. They both float up to the surface while upside down, anywhere from 100 to 2,000 eggs can be layed. This acrobatic dance is seldom witnessed. In the process the eggs are fertilized.The sticky eggs are attached to every available surface. The tadpoles that hatch from these eggs are transparent and are exclusively filter feeders, this means that they do not feed like others frog tadpoles, they filter the water through their gills and pick up microscopic pieces of algae and fresh water plankton.

Special Info:The African clawed frog is often confused with the African dwarf frog.There is an albino version of the clawed frog.

Comments:I have one adult female african clawed frog.She lives in a freshwater,10 gallon tank with a plecostomus and a shubunkin.She is unusual because she only had one eye when i got her.She tends to bite the other fish.She is fun to watch.

Below:She has been missing an eye since I got her.
