Hi,
My friend owns a 3 to 4 inch african clawed frog that he doesn't want any more, and doesn't take great care of. I have a 75 gallon aquarium with heat, light, and a filtration system that houses a 6 inch red eared slider turtle and multiple gold fish. How compatable would the turtle and frog be, and can the frog escape an open aquarium where the water line is 10 inches from the top of the aquarium? I know that the filtration can handle the aquarium, the question is the compatability issue. I just want to get the frog out of it's tiny 1 gallon ish enclosure, because it is not having a quality life
Thanks alot,

JOE

When the red ear terrapin's are young like yours thay will eat anything thay can! so no to the frog mate!

sorry, I mistyped, the species is a "yellow bellied cooter". would this make a diff, or still not happening?
thanks for the reply :)

Oh! well if your's is a female you should be ok but if yours is male then its a no the male's are meat eater's and the female's are less agressive and dont tend to eat live food!

oh, mine's a male (I think). I might try introducing the frog to the turtle and aquarium and see how things go. They probably won't end up compatible, but I think it might be worth a try. Thanks for the assist on this one mate!
