My Oddball tank currently has:

1 Apple snail
4 Glass cats (love 'em)
1 Betta
1 Ropefish (Other guy decided to go for a stroll outside the tank last week..)
1 Pleco dude.

Should I get a frog?
I THINK the ropefish would gobble up a dwarf frog...though maybe not?
Not really sure why I want a frog, though it IS my oddball tank and if I could, then why not?
Bettas and frogs?
I could get a larger type of frog (one of them big, albino things), though he may eat the cats?
Any experience with aquatic frogs? (I know.."aquatic frogs" sounds dumb, but I mean the ones that stay under water. Submersible?) What fish do you have with them?

Yay,

I own 2 Albino African Clawed Frogs which use to be housed with tinfoil barbs and tiger barbs. They were all very peaceful suprisingly (With the frogs around 4") You'll probably find one of these will make a meal out of your cats...

How big are they?
 
Thanks Dwarfs. If Rope-guy looks hungry..well, what's $4.50 plus change for a French meal! (Do you have a Rope? Ain't they cool?)

As for you, Tjimisoi (?.even close?) I assume you mean how big are my glass cats? About 1 "meals-worth" to a 4" frog. (About an inch each). But thanks for the info.

Can I ask:
How do you like your frog(s)?
What do you feed it / them?
Do you have anything else in the tank?

bu-bye.

Ooops. Sorry, you already answered 2 questions.
(READ den,..read before posting..)
 
Yeah, but mine only eats Freeze dried kirill :/ :rolleyes: Maybe I'll quarantine some feeders and see if he can get to them before the other fish do :p I wouldn't try frogs in there :no: :)
 
If they get tired of Krill, then you could always try frogs! Apparently, they go for that!

lol just call me TJ,

Anyway my 2 Albino Frogs I like them for many reasons. Not only do they feed from my hand, but they recognise me everytime I walk into the room, coming up to the glass or the surface. There pretty easy to maintain aswell, feeding them mainly frozen bloodworm (which most love). Supplementing their diet with shrimp or "feeder" fish/insects etc. is something I'm going to look into.

They average a life span within a tank between 10-20 years which I find remarkable for a arguably small creature

I currently have a red tail shark with them, but it will probably be housed within another tank to reach full maturity.
