pointerA common misconception is that these aquatic amphibians can be cared for as if they are goldfish. Though they can thrive in a tropical fish aquarium special care must be taken to prevent them from starving to death. These frogs are bottom feeders. Their preferred diet consists of blood worms (live or frozen), small (or chopped) earthworms, tubifex worms, etc. I have observed them eating fish flakes only on rare occasions and never in any quantity.
