African clawed frog tank mates

It looks to be going fine. I was also thinking on putting a Epalzeorhynchos bicolor in my tank.

I have one in there too! about 5" now.

I keep x.leavis and s.tropicalis with four adult angel fish. It's recommended not to, but in the 5 months or so that I've kept them together I have never seen any aggression from either side, sometimes the x.leavis will 'nibble' at the angelfish but it is very gentle.

If I were ever to see any form of violence towards the frogs, the angel fish would be taken out immediately. It depends on the fish I suppose.

I've kept ACFs with 6-inch weather loaches for 5 years just fine. They do compete for food but they rest, sleep and forage together. Really interesting to watch.

I would still be weary here, Bichir to my knowledge are predatory and quite capable of harming your frog. I know ACF aren't the most appetizing of animals for some fish to eat, perhaps that is why nothing bad has happened.

Glad it is still working out though, there are always exceptions to the rule I suppose.

I have attempted (foolishly) to keep fish (mollies) with my frogs, even apple snails, all were were eaten or harassed to death by the frogs. I keep large female ACFs, perhaps males are less aggressive.

Iv been keeping Bichirs for years. They are not 'Aggressive' predators, very timid fish, If its small enough they will eat it... and a ACF is miles too big. Also keep in mind I'm keeping a small enough species, not ornate which can get 20+"... I was actually more worried about the frog annoying the bichir . I also don't feed live food.

I could very well imagine most frog/fish combinations don't work out... either frog is harassed or fish is eaten especially in smaller tanks. I lost my favourite honey gourami to the frog because i didn't move it to my other tank quick enough, The frog went through a very quick growth spurt one week.
