Is it ok to feed redtail catfish large frogs from my pond?
Just wondering if it is ok to feed frogs from my pond to a redtail, i am guessing it is ok because if they were in a pond they would eat them, need opinions.

Imo it'd be fine. Afterall if one was in their natural enviroment and they could catch it they'd snatch it up. I wouldn't do it very often; 1 per two weeks or so for example.
Ah well.
Hopefully someone else knows more about this kind of possible food.
A severe lack of trichogaster.
Just because your Gourami is sick does not mean it is always Iridovirus, DGIV, Gourami Disease, et cetera.
Look at all the other factors in your tank before coming to this conclusion.

Well, as long is it is a none toxic species it is fine from the point of view of the fish. It might however be against the law. A lot of frog species are endagered and protected by law.
Do as I say. Not as I do.

Iunno about any species your state (or any state for that matter, protects
) As long as it's not protected, I say go ahead and try it.

Bullfrogs and green frogs are not protected as far as I know.

I don't know about your state law, but in Californian you need a fishing license to catch any frogs. I'd check the laws for that in your area.
