Platinum African Dwarf Frog (1.5”)

Scientific Name Hymenochirus boettgeri (Platinum morph of the Dwarf African Frog). Maximum Size and Lifespan Size: Typically reaches 1.5–2 inches (3.8–5 cm) in length. Lifespan: With proper care, they can live 5–8 years, sometimes longer in ideal conditions. Recommended Aquarium Size, Water Changes, and Care Tank Size: A minimum of 5 gallons for a small group of 3–4 frogs is recommended. Larger tanks provide more stability and space. Water Parameters: Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C) pH: 6.5–7.8 Soft to moderately hard water Filtration: Gentle filtration is needed—these frogs are poor swimmers and dislike strong currents. Sponge filters work well. Water Changes: About 20–30% weekly to maintain good water quality. Ensure dechlorinated water and stable parameters, as frogs are sensitive to toxins. General Care: Keep the tank covered, as they may jump. Provide smooth substrate (sand or rounded gravel) and plenty of hiding spots (plants, caves, driftwood). Avoid sha
