A MUCH better option in a tank MUCH shorter than a 75g. These idiots can't be in a tank taller than 10-12" of they will drown. It's too far for them to swim to surface, so they get halfway and give up and go back down and eventually drown

i wonder if that's why any I had in the past died lol, I'd sometimes find them swollen as hell.
These r interesting pets,there is also a piebald version,they can be kept with other peaceful fish that are significantly bigger than them.
if the tank you had them in was taller than 10-12", then yes, that's why.....very VERY few people actually know this and think their care is the same as Xenopus laeveis
I think a Dwarf or even a few would be perfect for your little planed Nano
lol don't tempt me!
I do miss their burbling, and random frog mating calls in the middle of the night lol
I also want frogs lol. I have a cracked 60 litre that im thinking about. Nice Scaping tropicals, shell dwellers or frogslol don't tempt me!

My old albino clawed frog would sing at night. It sounded like a high pitched violin note.
Lucked up with a male and female Dwarf African Clawed frogs, and heard the male call a long beeeeeb lol. The males also jump up and down when trying to attract female.
African clawed frogs are great pets. I have 7 in a 75 gal tank. They were in a 40 breeder but outgrew that tank. I kept dwarf African frogs before (in a small tank) but they aren't nearly as interesting as the larger ones and eventually passed after a year.
As stated above, don't keep them with fishes. They do best in a species only setting. Also, make sure the tank is completely covered. I lost one that got out a small space between the filter and plastic strip on the back of the glass top.
