Hi, here are a couple of links for info regarding reeds.

Amphibian Care >> Reed Frog (Afrixalus, Heterixalus, and Hyperolius species)

marbled reed frog, native to Africa, marbled appearance

Reed Frogs (Afrixalus, Heterixalus, and Hyperolius species) - talk to the frog

They maybe small but they can jump far and are quite quick.

Mine are not very active but the males are loud for there size, you will know what i mean if you have any calling.
