    I would definitely stay away from the Bristlenose Pleco.

    I have one that's about 7-8 years old, and he's tears into anything that touches him. They have those spines in their nose that shoot out, Wolverine style. And they HURT.
    I can only imagine what those spines could do to a frog.

    Nice looking tank

    I had a bunch of guppies in my tank for a few months and nothing happened, they always tried to hunt the without successes. Has anyone ever seen them eat guppies ?

    Thanks! Did you end up removing the guppies or did they just die off?

    That is freaking bad ***. You're like a guppy warlord or something. A grand sacrifice to the toad gods.

    Nice looking set up now, but a bit more land area would be better, OFBT are usually found in the shallows amongst plant weed and the bank side, or on rafts of aquatic plants, the reason they don't eat the guppies may well be the water is to deep for them, I have never seen them feed below the water, only catching prey above water and eating it very often in shallow water, they like to be able to feel the substrate under their rear legs from my experience.
    A few larger stones and lowering the water level would be better for the toads if not the fish.

    Whoa thanks for the warning about the bristlenose. I'll definitely be looking elsewhere for my algae clean up. Maybe a big ol' snail.

    Plant wise I'm thinking of getting a few Dwarf Sagittaria Subulata and letting them grow in a bit.
