it doesnt matter the size. ACF are predators and will attack anything that moves. the bigger the fish, the bigger the spine, the worse the stabbing through the mouth

plecos are probably one of the most misunderstood, "disposable" fish out in the pet trade. they get HUGE, requiring to be in a minimum of a 55 gallon tank. they have their own requirements as well, and should be researched thoroughly just like any other species of interest.

i strongly suggest removing him from the tank ASAP. any type of fish in the catfish, loach, etc. family is a big no no for ACF, as their spines can easily kill the frog. such fish would include plecos, loaches, cory cats, spotted pictus, catfish of any species and size.

i just recently got an email from someone who's frog tried to eat a cory cat and it died the cory's spines lodged in the frogs throat, and not only did he choke, but he also bled to death internally. so sad, and yet so easily preventable.

these frogs EAT fish, keeping these frogs with fish is like trying to keep a snake and a pet rat together, sooner then later....
