I have been trying to breed my Dwarf African frogs for over a year.I had 1 male and 1 female to try and increase the chances of breeding I added another
female.Is there any way to incourage them to breed?I have them in a 10 gal tank with live plant and hiding places.

Could you post more about your setup, with pictures?
Live foods like live blackworms usually makes the boys get all randy. Also, 50% water changes will sometimes make them ready for love |

I feed them frozen bloodworms every 2 days.Thats the only food that I feed them.Should I be giving them something other than the bloodworms?Less than a week
ago I had to change the tanks water due to having too many snails. I made sure I treated the water before I put them back in the tank.It was kinda funny that
when I have them in my rubbermaid container when I was cleaning the tank the male was kinda clinging to my female.Maybe I aught to just keep 1 male and 1
female in the container until they mate.

No offense meant here,
but why do you want them to breed so badly? They will breed when they are ready to. They might just not be mature enough yet, or might be too old, or the female might not be fertile. As someone who has raised many tadpoles, it is fun, but it's a lot of work. You have to watch many tadpoles die. It can get very sad. Then you have to have homes for the tads that you cannot keep. I gave a bunch of frogs to a woman who succeeded in killing all of them, and it broke my heart. |

To be honest with you i have had mine for 2 years they never really mated, i changed them to a new enviroment and now they mate just about every other day. I
have about 50 some tadpoles swimming around another container. They are out of their eggs for 2 weeks now and to be honest with you i am doing nothing special
with any of it. I am determined to keep these babies alive and fear doing things differently thinking it may kill them.
