 African Clawed frog/african dwarf frog?

I have a 10 gallon tank and wanted to get either african clawed frogs or the dwarf clawed frogs. Would the regular kind get to big? Tank setup? Feeding?

ACF’s need a much bigger tank than they’re usually given. A 30 gallon tank for 1 is a decent size. ADF’s can fit in a 10 much more comfortably. They are a fraction of the size of an ACF and aren’t nearly as aggressive. They are fairly shy and delicate so no tankmates aside from a snail. Live plants are beneficial, and you should cycle the tank before you add the frogs. Make sure there are plenty of hiding places and no strong currents. 3-5 ADF’s would fit in a 10 gallon, but the more animals the more waste and the more tank maintence. It’s much easier to have an underpopulated tank than an overpopulated one.
