African dwarf frog
African dwarf frogs of genus Hymenochirus, also known as dwarf aquatic frogs (ADF or DAF for short), are frogs native to Sub Saharan Africa. They are members of Family Pipidae. They are entirely aquatic though they do break the water surface as they are air breathers. They have hard time seeing close range but have good sight 7 cm or further. They rely on a sharp sense of sniffing and touch to find food such as tiny insects, some small fish meat, mosquito larvae and worms (which, in capitivity, should be fed every two days at full maturity, but every day while they are growing; a day skipped every week helps with digestion). They are often sold in pet shops and can live in captivity for 10-20 years at the max, most lasting an average of 7.
