It's something that just can't be prevented; not that it's common either.

    Myself would keep all frogs together; do watch the shy one get's some food if feeding off plate. Would not add anything to an established well balanced tank; specially now that you plan some travel .

    Oh, I certainly wouldn't add anything until I'm returned! Would you still say it isn't worth the risk with that new information? I was thinking that shrimp would help clean up any stray food if I'm going to switch to feeding them from a plate long term, and they seem like the least likely to cause any problems for the frogs. In terms of current, I do have a foam block in front of the outlet to soften the flow, but I think just the frogs lunging at the food will probably knock some off the dish.

    Thank you for your help!

    A few Ghost Shrimp might be a good addition. They are good little cleaners and don't seem to be aggressive at all. I have a bunch in my kids 10 gallon tank with some neons and glo tetras. I've never seen them bother the fish unless you consider riding on the snail a problem. There was a dozen shrimp in my ACF tank a month ago but there have been casualties as expected. I think 5 or 6 have avoided becoming dinner.
