What's my frog?

I've just got 3 of these - but all the aquatic shop could tell me is that they are some form of 'dwarf tropical frog'

They were being kept in an unheated tank with newts (although the bloke said they should really have a heater)

I described them to someone in the chatroom last night/the night before, who said they sounded like Dwarf African Frogs
- I've therefor tried to alter the tank conditions to those recommended by various froggie sites

But thought I'd post a pic here for a more informed identification...so - what's this?

(it's about an inch and a half long)

thanks for your swift identification Andrew...was going to ask you a quickie in the chat room, but you did a sharp exit............

Have been reading that the frogs would like a ph of around 7.6-7.8......tested the tank water today and it's about 6.5
Have yet to find any advice on raising the ph level, except not to use PH-Up type products...any suggestions????

O you're a good un *g*.......am having a lot of fun with frogs at the minute - they seem to really like hunting live daphnia .... i was planning on switching to frozen food, but i think that might take all the fun out of it for them

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
