hey all, if i get an African Clawed Frog, can i keep it in with my fish?they are in a 35 gallon tank, filtered, heated and lighted.they are the fully aquatics, rite?

Yes ACF's are fully aquatic. What kind of fish is it?

there are more than 1 fish!they are: 1 Pleco, 2 Swordtails, 1 Kuhli Loach, 1 Zebra Loach, 1 Pearl Danio, 1 leopard Danio, 1 Long-Fin Zebra Danio, 2 Red Eyed Tertas, 2 Black Skirt Tetras, 3 Guppies, 1 Betta(Siamese Fighting Fish), 1 Spotted Rapheal Catfish, 1 Albino Cory and 1 Iredecent Shark.

so, is it okay to have a frog with those fish? there tank is heated to 77 Degrees and lighted plus power filtered all in a 45 gallon tank.the pleco is leaving soon because he gets too big and wen he gets crowded he is nasty!

If you try it you won't have any fish left, because your frog will eat them all. Most of those are really small fish. And the Iridescent Shark might even try to eat the frog. The only thing I keep with my African Clawed Frogs are very large feeder goldfish and other African Clawed Frogs.

I tried to keep my ACF with two goldfish in a five gallon tank. All three were rather small, and the fish were actually bigger than my frog. For awhile things went well, but eventually I began to see pieces of their fins missing... I came home one day to find one in shambles (dead) and the other near death. Looks as though Stu was the culprit.

The best thing to do, is keep ACFs without fish. They get large and will eat any fish placed in with them. The only fish I have with mine are feeders(every once-in-a-while).

That's just the chance you take when you put anything in with these frogs. The goldfish i have in with mine are anywhere from 6"-10" long and my frogs there are anywhere from 3"-5" long so the goldfish are a lot bigger than the frogs, but cannot really do anything to them and the frogs can't really do anything to goldfish of that size.
