Hopa Hopa frog?

[Gourami Swami]

Hey, in my lfs today I noticed somehing called a "hopa hopa frog". It was prety big, about 6" in diameter, flat, and pretty round. it was brown and its head looked like a mata mata turtle's. Can anyone give me any info on him?

And since your already here, I might as well ask another Q. What is a good diet for pacman frogs? Can they live on guppies, baby cons, and crickets a couple times a week?

Thanks

Crickets for sure, I'm not sure about the fish.

Was the hopa hopa frog aquatic?

Was it fully aquatic? Pipa Pipa (surinam toads) seem to fit your description.

I was thinking the same thing Levi, just couldn't remember the name.

Does it look like this?

 

[Gourami Swami]

Thats exactly it, I guess it was mislabeled. What can you guys tell me about it?

They're cool as hell. the LFS around here was selling one for $40 and it ate feeders and krill.
Do a quick google search and you'll learn how they breed. It's interesting as hell!

Cool... they do have a cool breeding thing going on. How big of an enclosure would I be looking at?

I've got two in a 55g, filled about 2/3 of the way up. Mine are a bit picky eating. Agree that feeders work well, and mine eat chopped fish and shrimp when fed with feeding tongs. I love these guys, just hope they never breed (really creeps me out!).
