African Dwarf Frog White Platinum (Hymenochirus Boettgeri)

The African Dwarf Frog White Platinum, or Hymenochirus boettgeri, is a small, aquatic frog species native to central Africa. They are popular among aquarists due to their small size and relatively simple care requirements. Below are the temperature and minimum tank size guidelines for keeping African Dwarf Frogs:

1. Temperature: African Dwarf Frogs are tropical animals and thrive in temperatures that range from 75 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (24 to 28 degrees Celsius). It is crucial to maintain a consistent temperature within this range to ensure their well-being and overall health. Using a reliable aquarium heater and thermometer is essential to monitor and regulate the water temperature accurately.

2. Minimum Tank Size: For a single African Dwarf Frog, a minimum tank size of 5 gallons is recommended. However, keeping a small group of frogs necessitates a larger tank to accommodate their swimming space and ensure optimal living conditions. For two or more African Dwarf Frogs, it is advisable to have at least a 10-gallon tank. A larger tank will also provide ample room for decorating the habitat with plants, rocks, and other aquatic features that mimic their natural environment.

Proper care, a suitable diet, and a well-maintained habitat are essential for the health and well-being of African Dwarf Frogs. Regular water changes, a balanced diet of commercial frog pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods are necessary for their optimal growth and development. Additionally, providing hiding places and gentle filtration in the tank will contribute to their overall comfort and reduce stress.
