Hello...from overwhelmed and under educated!!!

[jags78]

hi im jags, i have a 17gall fishtank with 4 tetres in 5 blindcave fish, and a blue unknown one...we went to the local fish place and saw this lovely ikkle albino frogs...albino afican clawed frog..i believe,

now the lady at the shop didnt tell me they wouldnt be wanting to eat my fish and told me they would be totally fine....i had my son with me and i went with it and got 2 of them....now i have been doing lots of reading up on them (afterwards i know ) and im thinking they need a bigger tank on their own?

they are ok in the fish tank now and i can still see all my fish....they seem to be hiding behind the filter system alot,

i do tend to panic and get some much info that i get brain blocked and dont know what to do for the best, the only other tank we have is a kids one and its alot smaller than what they are in...

iv been feeding them bloodworms, as the lady in the shop said fish food is fine..but i have read up that its not enough...

so any advice and help would be appreciated i wanna do my best with the lil guys,

thanks jags xx

oh and the site looks fab

They will be fine while small but will soon grow and eat any thing they can fit in their mouth including your fish, reptomin turtle sticks are an ideal food, bloodworm, bugs and fish are also eaten.10 gallons of water for each frog is the rule of thumb for adult ACF

While your fish may not get eaten right away because the frogs are still small, your fish may become overstressed and not do so well as long as the frogs are in the tank with them. I would definitely separate them sooner rather than later. Exactly how big is the other (kids) tank that you have? It might be best to move the tetras and blind cave fish into the smaller one-if it is an acceptable size-and use the bigger setup for your frogs. This will give you enough time to save up and find a permanent, bigger, home for the frogs, and then your fish can have the 17 gallon back.
