freshwater frogs!

Hi there I was wondering if i could put frogs in my tank with thr fish i have now?

The fish i have now are: 15 black skirts, 5 tiger barbs, 5 rosys, 3 blue tetras, One Medusa, and two BN plecos. My tank is a 200 gallon.


Would any of my fish eat the frogs or the plecos?

What are the dimensions of your tank? African Dwarf Frogs (ADF's) are peaceful adn would be ok with your critters, but I am concerned about teh depth of a 200g tank as they are surface breathers. The other option, African Clawed Frogs (ACF's) would enjoy the snack of your smaller tetras. You could start up a 10g for some ADF's They are fun little critters.

the tank dimensions are 8 feet by 2 by 2. really they will eat my small blue fish?

ACF's will...ADF's would not.

 

[kimlynn]

what is the diff of both of these? ACF's will...ADF's would not

 

[kimlynn]

so is there a type of frog i can get that won;t eat anything in my tank and that will work out great ?

You want African Dwarf Frogs. Just avoid African Clawed Frogs.

i saw some mini frogs at my lfs. they were really pale, pinkish (albino?) frogs only an inch long. anyone know what breed they are?

also saw some dwarf freshwater puffer fishes, would they work well with frogs?

The frogs I'm 99% sure were African Clawed Frogs. I've never seen African Dwarf Frogs in an albino variety. Most LFS sell both together in the same tank at about the same size (IME), makes it tough to distinguish if you don't know what to look for.

ADF= Webbed Back AND FRONT feet
ACF= Only webbed back feet.
