i saw a video a while back mainly showing some oscars but the had a couple white frogs in the tank also that looked like they were formed from a few large bubbles. they were very aggressive and ate feeder fish just like the oscars. does anyone know what the correct name is for the frog?
 
Probably albino African clawed frogs, Xenopus laevis

Can these frongs really exist with cichlids? The thought crossed my mind to have some of these, but I felt they would get beat up badly by cichlids. I mean, doesnt look like they could do much to fight back etc.
 
:WTF:I've never seen one CLOSE to that fat! I still think it's some Xenopus species. It might not be a common African clawed frog. There are a couple other similar species available in the pet trade (not sure whether they come in albino or not though)
 
I dont know, that big fat puffy frog is weird. Never seen one like that, it could have a disease or something, that dont look right. Or maybe its just extremely obese.
