For amphibian enthusiasts, aquarists, students, and lecturers alike: Kriton Kunz shares his extensive personal experience with these fascinating animals and their remarkable and impressive behavior in the care and breeding of clawed frogs, dwarf clawed frogs, and bubble frogs. From setting up a species-appropriate tank to balanced feeding, mating stimulation, and the rearing of tadpoles and juveniles, all relevant aspects are presented in a clear and practical manner.

Of course, the author also provides detailed insights into the biology of these amphibians and their invaluable significance as research animals, as well as their potential applications in schools. Every species and subspecies from the family Pipidae, to which these animals belong, is thoroughly portrayed. The highlight: Kunz offers information for the first time about several new, yet-to-be-described species and subspecies and presents exciting footage of previously unseen behaviors.
