The blond dwarf frog is a natural color morph of the fully aquatic oddball, the African dwarf frog. These little frogs are not albino and are very hardy, and will eat flake foods and do well in a gentle community fish tank. Since they are fully aquatic, the frogs do not require an above water surface and will eat the same prepared food as their tank mates.

Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them a fully aquatic tank with plants and hiding spots, gentle filtration and a lid. They breathe air, so keep the water shallow enough for them to reach the surface easily.
Feeding: Feed sinking frog pellets or frozen bloodworms once a day. They eat slowly, so make sure faster fish don't take all the food.
Tankmates: Dwarf frogs are peaceful and do best with other small, gentle fish such as small tetras and rasboras, or with their own kind.
Good to know: Dwarf frogs are fully aquatic but breathe air, so you will see them float up to the surface for a breath.
