Frogs love to eat my fish

**freshwaterfishlover** · 07-24-2007, 09:31 PM

In one of my 20g tanks I have 2 Albino Clawed Frogs and 2 African Clawed Frogs. I have tried a couple of times 5 Cardinal Tetras they eat all except 2. That was about a year ago. Also I put a Bumble Bee Gobie in a few Months ago gone. They also love my Ghost Shrimp

I had a Albino Cory in my 38g that I wanted out and thought it was to big for the frogs to eat so I put it in the 20g Tank and 2 days later I can not find it at all. I looked for 10 minutes.

They do it when the light is off.

Wan't put fish in that tank again.

That is funny. I wanted frogs in my tank because I thought they looked cool but then someone advised me not to. That is insane they can catch the fish like that, I would like to see them do it.

No offence meant but that's pretty stupid I think.

Though its been said some frogs are compatible with small fishes, frogs are generally viscious eaters, I would not put them anywhere near a community tank.

Your frogs will keep eating everything they can fit in their mouth. I have seen african claw frogs (not african dwarf claw frogs) eat 4 inch kribs. The frogs were nowhere near that size.

If there is one in the tank it is ok, but I have 4.

The African clawed frog is well known for eating tankmates. The African dwarf frog on the other hand is not. Clawed frogs get much bigger than dwarfs and as the name says, have claws to catch their prey. If you want frogs in a tank try the dwarfs, they are actually pretty neat to watch jumping around.
