African clawed frog tank mates

[Spudsssy]

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 have one in there too! about 5" now.

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.

I would still be weary here, Bichir to my knowledge are predatory and quite capable of harming your frog. I know ACF aren't the most appetizing of animals for some fish to eat, perhaps that is why nothing bad has happened.

Glad it is still working out though, there are always exceptions to the rule I suppose.

I have attempted (foolishly) to keep fish (mollies) with my frogs, even apple snails, all were were eaten or harassed to death by the frogs. I keep large female ACFs, perhaps males are less aggressive.
