Does anyone know anything about African Clawed frogs?

Question

Particularly on behavior and health symptoms and signs.

Every time I ask a question about ACFs on here, no one tries to answer.

Can you help me with any info you can think of?

Thanks.

I answered your other open question. Your problem is simple to fix. Your tank is too small, and you need to put a filter on the tank. Good, clean, fresh water is vitally important to the health and well being of frogs.

I would say that the frog is male, as it doesn't have the "tail" or "cloaca" like the females do. The front arms will become darker from the "nuptial pads" when the frog is sexually mature.

I've posted some links below that you should check out. Also, there aren't that many knowledgeable people out there that know a whole lot about frogs. It's not surprising that you didn't get too many answers. If you need help with frogs, then I suggest joining a forum for frogs. You will get help from people that actually keep these animals.
