The frog arrived healthy and active. It’s adapted well to our planted tank. We’ve kept it for three months and it’s become a regular part of the tank ecosystem. Easy to maintain with proper water parameters.

Great addition to our aquarium. It’s quiet and doesn’t disturb the fish. We followed the care instructions and it’s thriving. Only wish it came with more detailed setup guidance.

The packaging was secure and the frog was in good condition upon arrival. It’s small but active and seems to enjoy the plants. We’re happy with the purchase and the shipping speed.
