The Golden Dwarf Frog (Hymenochirus sp. “Gold”) is a small, fully aquatic African frog, reaching 2–3 inches, known for its peaceful nature and striking golden color.
Description and Habitat
The Golden Dwarf Frog is native to freshwater habitats in Africa, including slow-moving rivers, ponds, and marshes. It is fully aquatic, spending most of its time underwater, and only occasionally surfaces to breathe. Its vibrant golden hue makes it a visually appealing addition to community aquariums, and its small size allows it to coexist with other peaceful fish species
Size and Tank Requirements
These frogs typically grow to 5–6 cm (2–3 inches) in length . A minimum tank size of 10 gallons (approximately 20 liters per frog) is recommended, with a slightly larger setup preferred for small groups. They thrive in warm water with a temperature range of 72–82°F (22–28°C), a pH of 6.5–7.5, and moderate hardness of 5–15 dGH
