Hello,
I'm new here. I have a small tank that holds about 2 gal of water and has an aerator and no filter. I have 3 dwarf frogs in it. Two of the frogs are a light gray color and the other one is a dark almost black color. I have been told that the black one is a male???? and the other two are female although they all have the "bump" on their rear that indicates to me that they are all female???? Anyway, here's my question..... Of the two light colored frogs, one will grab the other and give it a bear hug ~ head to head. I have seen them do this three times now and I have to flick the tank to get them to quit. The one doing the squeezing holds on really tight just behind the other one's front legs. One time the frog that was being squeezed looked like it was being suffocated because it's arm was twitching. Once they are free from each other, they act fine. For the most part, they all get along with each other and really don't even interact with the darker frog. I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever heard of these frogs ever showing any sign of aggression .... if the darker frog is a male, are they fighting over it? Should I try to get another male?
Thanks in advance for your replies
