On sunday i went down to the pet shop to gander, the fish expert was not there and a saw a beautiful Black cichlid similar to the "Electric Blue Johanni"
and a Bristlenose Catfish together in a similar tank to my own. The staff member removed the decorations and the little ambino frog started darting all over the tank, he is only about an inch and a half at most, with 3 little black claws on each of his back feet.
He's so cute i thought. it would be a nice final member of my increasingly populated tank. so i got him .
I did a bit of research on the little blighter when i got home and found out that they can scratch fish,
Today in work (cough) the pic in "African Clawed Frog" index looks exactly like the little bugger, so now what do i do?
is he going to start on the tetra and guppies and work his way up to eating my big angel?


145 litre (tall) tank.

Blue Dwarf Gourami
Gourami - Pearl (what a bully)
2 Angels ( 2 and a 1/2 inches high)
1 Angel ( + 4 inches high)
3 Guppies ( 2 female )
2 black tetra's

new members
1 Cichlid (black with blue dimples and orange /yellow stripe along the tip of his dorsal fin)
1 Bristlenose Catfish
1 African Clawed Frog
 
tbh your new cichlid may start killing them off before the acf gets a chance to eat them, do you know what species it is?
asssuming its an african mbuna then once it settles in you will have no end of trouble with it harassing the other fish.

As for the ACF, the guppys and tetras will be on the menu and eventually the dwarf gourami, the others should be fine though
