View Full Version : African Dwarf Frogs DO eat fish!
I just witnessed my african dwarf frog (this is not an african clawed frog, it is definately a dwarf) eat one of my feeder guppies. It was one of the larger guppies too. Took him a while to get it down, but he ate it. Wow, I've never seen such a fat frog.

I had one eat 2 of my 5 dwarf puffers the other day. Granted these guys were tiny.

wow, my dwarfs have got to be the most passive in the tank. if you're sure it's a dwarf (which it would have to be if it's so small) is it preying on fish because it's that hungry? i've only ever fed my frogs sinking tablets and they've been in with fish as small as neon tetras......oh well, maybe they were just looking for a change in diet ;) unless they're a cross breed between a dwarf and a clawed.....

they might be a crossbreed, that happened to me once, it got big but it had no claws
These are dwarf frogs. No claws. Very small. I feed them frozen blood worms usualy, and quite often.

Dwarf frogs are carnivorous and will take the opportunity to eat fish if they can. They're usually pretty safe only for the reason that they're too small get a hold of most fish.
