Collection: Amphibians

Unlike fish, amphibious species breathe air and often interact directly with their environment. African Dwarf Frogs are fully aquatic and peaceful, while Mudskippers are semi-terrestrial fish famous for perching above the surface and “walking” between puddles. Tadpoles provide an educational look at the early stages of amphibian life and make great temporary pets for classroom or family observation tanks.

At AquariumFish.com, we focus on species that are legal, sustainable, and well-suited to home aquariums in California. All frogs and Mudskippers are shipped overnight to ensure they arrive healthy, active, and ready to explore.
