🐸 African Dwarf Frog (Hymenochirus spp.) – Peaceful, Fun & Fully Aquatic Companion

The African Dwarf Frog (Hymenochirus spp.) is a small, fully aquatic amphibian adored for its playful personality and unique swimming behavior. Native to the slow-moving tropical rivers and ponds of Central Africa, these gentle frogs make a fascinating and low-maintenance addition to peaceful community aquariums. 🌿🐸

Unlike semi-aquatic frogs, African Dwarf Frogs live entirely underwater but occasionally swim to the surface to breathe air. They are social creatures that do best in groups of two or more and are known for their endearing feeding habits and lively antics, especially at mealtime. ✨
