Frogs in the Fish Tank?

By Hales Corners Library
Friday, May 9 2008, 04:43 PM

The library's fish tank is making headlines yet again with the addition of three new creatures.  Three African Albino Clawed frogs, or Xenopus Laevis for you Latin buffs, were added to the tank which, prior to the frogs' big move-in, held only 5 goldfish.  The frogs are able to live completely submerged in water and eat the same food as the fish.  They eat by stirring up the rocks at the tank's bottom with their arms to unearth any fallen food.

The fish remain fairly disinterested in the frogs and it appears the two species will be able to coexist peacefully.  The frogs are a little odd looking but exciting to watch.  Next time you're in the library stop at the tank to check them out!
