Just what the title says lol
Are shrimp and African Dwarf Frogs compatible tankmates? Will the frogs eat the shrimp?
Thanks!

It might depend somewhat on the size of the shrimp, but yeah, a dwarf frog can and probably will eat shrimp. He'd especially like to have some fry.
Dwarf frogs are awfully clumsy eaters. Even though they may snag one or two, I doubt they would be very efficient at picking off many.
Deffinately not a full grown shrimp, even a dwarf shrimp. They might get a few small ones, but really, dwarf frogs are such inefficient eaters it'll probably be a plus.
Might eat a couple, but not too many. They react to food so slowly I couldn't imagine it being too big of a deal.
I have one in my shrimp tank right now and was worried about them eating my RCS. But after watching it try and get even the smallest babies I have to agree with the other posters. They are really slow at getting food. I have to dangle bloodworms in front of the frog or else the shrimp will go after it and snag it before him. In this tank I go through blooms of shrimp growth and have never really noticed any damage done by the frog.
