    Cannibalism is a real danger with size mismatched ACF but bullying isn't, ACF don't really establish an hierarchy or anything. I've never seen one frog bully another.

    Hello and welcome to FF! The smaller one needs to be over half the size of the larger one. Also; recommend you introduce the larger one into the smaller one's tank, or completely rearrange the decor in the larger's tank at introduction. Do it on a day you can observe for any problem or harassment. Although normally they won't; remember reading here a few months back, about a male being bullied by a larger male. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Mine would suck the leg of the other to prevent it from eating lol. Happens during feeding only and no damage is done
