  • First, you can't catch them from your frogs. Second, anything that is visible, alive, and moving about freely in the open water is probably not a bladder fluke or any other internal parasite (the vast majority of parasites, if not all of them, die fairly quickly in fresh water.) A don't know if African dwarf frogs have bladder flukes; I've never looked in one of those frogs.

  • do african dwarf frogs carry these??? there are ALOT of white flat worms in my fish tank that look similar to this! also can I catch them from the frogs?

  • Thanks for adding this! I'm working on marine gorgoderines at the moment, and this is the first time I've seen a f/w one live.  He's a beauty!
