Asian Floating Frog
The Asian floating frog comes from Indonesia, where they are a common sight floating among the rice paddies and feeding on insects. The Asian floating frog is hardy and prefers live insects like crickets and worms, but the aquatic frog will eat frozen and freeze dried treats. These amphibians are not fully aquatic. The floating frog likes to get out and sunbathe as well as search for food, so they need a floating leaf or rock they can get out on. Otherwise, he just likes to float along the surface of the water. If there are several frogs in the area, they usually join hands and float together.

The frog is active and enjoys floating on the surface. I provided a floating leaf and it uses it regularly to sunbathe. It eats crickets and worms, which I feed weekly. It’s a unique addition to my aquarium setup.

The frog is calm and interesting to watch. It floats on the surface and occasionally jumps onto the leaf I placed. I feed it a mix of frozen and freeze-dried food. It adapts well to the tank environment.

I was impressed by how the frog interacts with its surroundings. It joins other frogs when they’re together and floats in a group. The setup is simple, just a leaf and some live food.
