    I think it looks cool, but your playing with fire if you like them all equally.

    Well its been 6 months... Everything is going great. No problems with Bichir or other fish.

    That's fantastic, but I will say I've kept bichirs before, and I would not expect feeder fish to survive with one. While the bichir may not attempt to eat the frog due to it's size, I wouldn't be surprised if an arm got bit every now and then. I still think your taking a risk, but if the frog is fully grown it will most likely not fit in the Bichirs mouth. Bichirs are tropical, I'm not sure what temps ACF's like, but I doubt they overlap. I kept my bichirs at around 78-80.

    It looks to be going fine. I was also thinking on putting a Epalzeorhynchos bicolor in my tank.

    I keep x.leavis and s.tropicalis with four adult angel fish. It's recommended not to, but in the 5 months or so that I've kept them together I have never seen any aggression from either side, sometimes the x.leavis will 'nibble' at the angelfish but it is very gentle.

    If I were ever to see any form of violence towards the frogs, the angel fish would be taken out immediately. It depends on the fish I suppose.

    I've kept ACFs with 6-inch weather loaches for 5 years just fine. They do compete for food but they rest, sleep and forage together. Really interesting to watch.
