Fish Friends

I keep some rosy barbs with my frogs. They do better at similar temps with the frogs. Two barbs went missing after being added, but the remaining ones coexist with the frogs.

My smaller clawed frogs (Silurana tropicalis) co-exist fairly well with swordtails- those young fish that outgrow being eaten by both the adult fish and the frogs act as scavengers (the frogs are messy eaters!) as well as a bit of visual interest- and the frogs know that if the fish are swarming at the surface, there is food in the offing! ... Enough make it to keep the population stable. In the larger Xenopus, though, my experience over the years has been pretty much the same as the posters above; sooner or later, all of the fish will be eaten.

I have two AFC's and one of my girls is very large and eats everything that enters her path. with that being said I have been through a lot of different fish and the only fish I have been successful with are gourami's and that is only because they are to big for her to fit in her mouth. My other frog is not as aggressive but they both will still try to grab the gourami's if they swim in front of them. I think the gourami's "feelers" help them stay out of danger as well because they are able to swim away before the frog can get to their fins.
