wow, shes skinny. what are you feeding her on? they put on weight in a matter of days when fed the right foods. i recently got given one which was kept in a tank with fish, and was very skinny too. a week of frozen bloodworm and daphnia and shes bright and chunky, enjoying a 40L filtered heated tank all of her own. much happier little frog. im after getting her a couple of friends as they apparently do better in groups. maybe you could get her a friend or 2 aswell.

its only 2cm in size so is pretty tiny, have no idea if its male or fermale too young and small to tell.

I am getting 2 more tomorrow so it has company, all my other fish dont bother it and seem to compliment each other
I been feeding it on frozen bloodworms but is a real challenge to try and feed it, takes so manual tasking and not just a few flakes on surface like you do with fish.

Its in a 120lt 4ft tank so plenty of space along with the fishes and plants.

Will be good if they finally sing but that could be 50/50

you will be lucky to keep her eating enough in a tank with fish, thats why i moved mine into a spare tank. you will need to target feed her with the bloodworm using something like a pipette, the fish will devour all the food otherwise and she will slowly starve. i think it is a female as males have small white bumps just behind their front legs although im not sure what age/size they develop these,which she doesnt seem to have.

I fed it with a large pair of plastic tweesers and put the food in front of its face, it is eating it ok, and fish take what it does not eat

ah thats ok then. the fish never bothered the frog when it was in the tank, it was purely feeding that was the issue with the one i was given and it wont go near tweezers or a pipette so it had to have its own tank. good luck with her, i hope she does well with you
