    No bottom feeders are recommended.
    Cories can be eaten by the ACF once they are older. Plecos are way too large and messy. Snails are a risk - I will not have a snail in my tank anymore due to the fact that they easily startle and a frog limb caught in a trapdoor can cause disaster.
    From my personal experience with snails -

    The best, cheap, clean, friendly, long living bottom cleaner? A Turkey Baster - you can do quick spot cleans in between water changes and daily removing bits of waste will keep your water parameters healthier also.
    72 Gallon Bow - ACF and GF tank.
    26 Gallon Bow - ACF tank.

    20 Gallon Long - ACF tank.

    Wow, sorry to see that happen to Louie.I am happy to see he recovered. That defiantly completely made me change my mind about snails. I will just leave my two ACF's in the tank alone. They seem very happy together. I am unsure of their sex yet. They are very small still under 1" so I think you can not determine their sex until they mature? I will defiantly get myself a turkey blaster. I am currently just using my tiny net to net up the food that I can reach without moving their tank environment around.

    Since the first frog was spontaneously given to me in a tiny container as a gift. He was put into a fresh 10 gl tank. I instantly started researching after getting them and quickly learned what he was given to me in is WAY to small! I have fallen in love with him and that is why I got a second. I have read of on cycling my tank, and it is in the current process of being cycled, but my ACFS are in there. Will they be harmed? I am doing water changes 25% twice a week and do have a filter. And I have Live NH2 checking ammonia levels. They do seem to be active in the tank since I put the second frog in yesterday. He has warmed up to the tank 10x times faster than the first frog which makes me happy!

    I'd also like to add to what Jenna said. There is this other bottom feeder..... common name is python. Works like a champ. Able to eat large volumes of poo, food, and water in minutes.
    Nice looking little guys you have there.
