Keeping only two will result in a single fish. Let us know if the one left goes missing too. That would prove it's the frog eating them.



And I'm curious about specifically what other fish you've tried. Can you remember?
That is interesting. My only real reason for blaming my frog is how the fish disappeared overnight. I have the luxury of being self employed, and I spend a good part of my day hanging in my "frog room" which is basically my office. The one cichlids vanished. If it was attacked, there would be some sort of sign. The remaining cichlid is a little bigger, but also very aggressive. They were part of a Craigslist deal for a tank and were housed in a 20gal with a Pleco. I moved the three into the much bigger bullfrog tank that already had a small Pleco, and 9 white cloud minnows. The weirdest thing about it all is that they all lived peacefully for months, then one day, I'm missing the cichlid and four minnows.

Now I've moved the minnows to the pond, and only have the two plecos, cichlid, and a truck load of snails in the bullfrog tank. Eventually I'll get rid of the newer Pleco and cichlid and start over with my original Pleco and whatever I can find that will survive my little monster.
