cool pics! my girlfriend is goin to visit her sister who has a frog she dont want and is givin it to me, do they just stay under the water all day? also i geuss the hood should be tataly covered so they dont jump out to right? what do you feed them? all these question!!?!? aaahhhh!!! anyways, got any help....thanks
Yes, they stay in the water all the time, they can't live out of the water. You must have the cover closed or they will try and jump out. They scavenge the bottom for food, but mine finds the algae wafers I put in the tank for the pleco pretty tasty. Pretty cool to watch them eat, they jump at their food. Neat little critters.
the frog might dig in the sand. my frogs don't eat much but rather tend to pick up food that other fish cannot get that are in between rocks. he one smelled a single blood worm 1" down under my soft gravel. he dug in and ate it.
i am not certain if your cichildis would bother it. i know that large red tailed sharks that are fairly aggressive never bothered them. feed your afds with algee pucks, worms of any kind and beef heart. my grocer sells half a beef heart for $2. the frogs really like this. they can also be given dry food like FD blood worms. when they come to the top of the tank, they find it and eat it.
other than feeding, you don't need to do anything else for these guys. they are very easy to manage and don't bother plants or other fish.

Thanks for all the comments guys, the leopard cory sells for about $3-4 around here. I picked him up from Wal-Mart the other day and he was only about $3. He is very healthy as are the other fish that I have bought from Wal-Mart. I love the little ADF, he is a very cool little creature, right now he is molting so its fun to watch him peel his skin off!
