Dwarf Frog

Dwarf Frogs are commonly kept in freshwater aquariums due to their manageable care requirements and unique behavior. They are fully aquatic and spend their time swimming, resting, and foraging along the bottom of the tank.

These frogs have been acclimated to captive aquatic life and are feeding well on an appropriate diet. They are best suited for calm freshwater aquariums with gentle filtration and compatible tank mates.

This is a living animal sold responsibly. Proper aquarium setup, filtration, and cycling must be completed before purchase.
