The list below largely follows Darrel Frost's Amphibian Species of the World (ASW), Version 5.5 (31 January 2011). Another classification, which largely follows Frost, but deviates from it in part is the one of AmphibiaWeb , which is run by the California Academy of Sciences and several of universities.
There are a wide range of frogs, salamanders and caecilians that can be kept in an aquarium. Some of these are not found in the pet trade. This is usually because they're either too big for most commercial aquariums (ex: giant salamanders), are endangered (ex: achoques), or both.

The world’s frogs, salamanders, newts and other amphibians remain in serious trouble. A new global assessment has found that 41% of amphibian species that scientists have studied are threatened ...
The numbers of species cited above follows Frost and the total number of known (living) amphibian species as of March 31, 2019, is exactly 8,000, [12] of which nearly 90% are frogs. [ 13 ] With the phylogenetic classification, the taxon Labyrinthodontia has been discarded as it is a polyparaphyletic group without unique defining features apart ...
The water temperature in Xochimilco rarely rises above 20 °C (68 °F), although it may fall to 6–7 °C (43–45 °F) in the winter, and perhaps lower. [20] Surveys in 1998, 2003, and 2008 found 6,000, 1,000, and 100 axolotls per square kilometer in its Lake Xochimilco habitat, respectively. [21]
This is a checklist of amphibians found in Northern America, based mainly on publications by the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles. [1] [2] [3] The information about range and status of almost all of these species can be found also for example in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species site. [4]
On Rarotonga, one species has evolved to become largely terrestrial. [2] [3] Woolly sculpin (Clinocottus analis): Found in tide pools along the Pacific Coast, these sculpins leave water if the oxygen levels get low, and they can breathe air. [4] Mudskippers (Oxudercinae): This subfamily of gobies is probably the most land-adapted of fish.
