I adopted an adult clawed frog and he doesn't seem to be interested in food.  I've tried shrimp pellets, reptimin pellets, and worms.  I'm currently looking for a shop that sells feeder guppies since I don't really want to breed my own at the moment.

 

Set up- 10 gallon, filtered.  Not heated but thermometer sits steadily at 76F.  Lots of hiding places with silk plants and a shelter.

 

Any advice helpful.

 I do not know about amphibians, but I found a African Clawed Frog forum you can check out (It's Fishlore, so I mean I guess it's for fish too.) From a bit of research, it says they might not eat from a bacterial infection. https://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/care-sheet-for-african-clawed-frogs.82321/

Hello! I know this reply is a bit late but I've been in a similar situation and want to help. My clawed frogs were definitely very picky eaters, so I know hoe stressful it can be. I see you mentioned that you've tried worms. Did you try frozen worms or freeze dried and were they bloodworms? If you tried freeze dried and that didn't work, the my advice would be to use frozen bloodworms. These are usually pretty cheap, around $4-$5 for around a 4 month supply. You can generally find them at most pet stores, I know Petco and Petsmart sells them. This is a great food option because bloodworms are full of nutrition. Also, they are more interesting for your frogs, which may make them want to eat. So, there's my little bit of advice. If you have any questions, let me know!
