i have 2 clown loaches, 2 albino red tail sharks, 2 swordtails, 2 dalmation mollies, 2 balloon mollies, 2 sunset platies, 2 dwarf frogs, 1 pleco, & 1 albino clawed frog

i am thinking about adding another 2 bottom feeders to my tank....but i need something that is big enough to not be dinner for my albino frog. i was thinking cories, but i wasn't sure if they were big enough. i had a couple of fancy tail guppies & the frog thought they were quite tasty

What size of a tank do you have? You already have a fairly sizable bottom feeder crew going there. And a word of warning but those sharks tend to get very mean the older they get. You should probably only have 1 in your tank unless it is at least 4 feet long.

If your tank will permit adding more fish(how many gallons is it?) then i would add one or 2 more clown loaches.

my buddy had a nasty time with cory cats and albino clawed frog. The frog at the cory and the cory spread out it's try force of death and got lodged in its throat. He didn't notice for a while until they both died. sucks.

AH. Get a channel cat and keep the water at 75 degrees to be sure it's ok. They are superb bottom feeders along with Rapheles (talking catfish). When they get to big just throw them in the pond and they thrive...WIN WIN BABY.
